Klopp sends a shock to Mohamed Salah .. And the Egyptian star's agent responds "sarcastically"
Negotiations to renew the contract between Liverpool and Egyptian star Mohamed Salah have reached a complex stage, prompting German coach Jurgen Klopp to direct what English media described as a “shock” to Mohamed Salah’s ambitions, as Klopp said that “the club cannot offer anything greater than It has been submitted so far,” noting that the responsibility and the ball are in Mohamed Salah’s court to end this matter that has been going on for months.
The response of Mohamed Salah's agent, Colombian Rami Abbas, to Klopp's statements, was not late, as he commented sarcastically on his Twitter account with "emoji", indicating that he does not accept such a response from coach Klopp at all.
And at a press conference today, before Brighton's next match in the English Premier League, Klopp was asked: Can Liverpool do many things and more in order to ensure that Mohamed Salah stays for a long time?
Klopp responded, according to what was published on the newspaper “Daily Mail”: No, the club will not offer more than what was presented, and the truth is that the whole issue is in Salah’s hands now, and he only has to decide his fate.
Salah is presenting a very special season, as he has scored 19 goals in all competitions with Liverpool, including eight goals in eight Champions League matches, to contribute to his team reaching the quarter-finals of the European competition, and Liverpool is a strong competitor on all possible fronts in England.
Salah wanted a new contract, extending beyond the summer of 2023, with a weekly salary of up to 400,000 pounds, but Liverpool remained sticking to a ceiling below 300,000, which does not satisfy Salah's ambitions, especially since he is currently considered one of the second level on the salary scale in English Premier League.
