Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has joked that there is only one reason why the Reds star Mohamed Salah would leave after the player did not rule out a move to either Barcelona or Real Madrid.
Salah has been a key part of the team since joining the Reds in 2017. During this season, he has made 21 appearances in which he has scored 16 goals and provided 4 assists.
“The only reason to leave Liverpool at the moment is the weather," Klopp said.
“What other reason could there be? This is one of the biggest clubs in the world.
“We pay good money, maybe not the most in the world but we pay good, we have a sensational stadium with outstanding supporters, we have a fanbase all around the world and our colours are red, which is the nicest colour anyway.
“You cannot force people to stay but that is it. We never did by the way. It is all about timing, the right moment. We make changes and bring players in and if a player wants to go then we cannot, probably not hold him back; it’s just that I would not understand why somebody would want to go.
“When Mo answered the question it was that these clubs might be interested and he didn’t rule that out.
“If you ask any player in the world who is not playing for Barcelona or Real Madrid if he can imagine playing there one day and he said: ‘No, Spanish football is not for me,’ why should he say that?
“The only thing he said was we shall see and it is in the club’s hands. It is 100% true and it is about having talks about the future. It is really all fine.
“Mo is a very important player for me obviously but this story around is not.”
