Jurgen Klopp spoke today at the press conference about the situation with the contract of Mohamed Salah, and no matter how much the Liverpool coach wanted to calm down the situation, it seems that it is all just not calm!
It is already known that the contract for the Egyptian football player expires in the summer of 2023 and that it is very dangerous when any player enters the contract in the last year.
This automatically lowers his price, he is not fully focused on the games in the club, and he gives other teams the opportunity to bring him for free and negotiate with him six months before the end of the cooperation.
However, Klopp tried to lower the tension today.
– He expects the club to show ambition. There is not much we can do about it. The decision is up to Salah. From my point of view, everything looks fine. Nothing has been decided. Neither something was signed nor something was rejected. Let’s wait, there is no need to hurry – said the German.
However, tonight he was denied by the respected Fabricio Romano, who exclusively claims that Salah has already rejected the first offer to extend his contract!
It allegedly happened in December, and it did not occur to the 29-year-old winger to sign the cooperation under the conditions set by the Liverpool administration.
Since then, the government has been quiet in the negotiations and no solution to the situation is in sight. Salah’s priority is to stay, but only on the condition that he becomes one of the highest-paid players in the Premier League.
Salah thinks that such a title belongs to the parties on the field, and the statistics are in his favor (19 goals and 10 assists this season)…
However, the leaders of the club do not want to allocate significantly over 11,000,000 euros, which Salah currently receives annually. On the other hand, Mo would have a salary in the range of about 20,000,000 euros.
Tensions and negotiations between the two sides will still be…
