Mohamed Salah has only known one Liverpool manager since he joined the club in 2017. Jurgen Klopp’s January announcement that he will leave at the end of the season made many question whether Salah would join him through the exit door.
In an interview the Egyptian winger was asked if Klopp’s departure will impact what happens regarding his future this summer, and his answer was clear.
“No,” he said. “It’s part of life now, that everything moves. Players have left already, very important players. The manager is also very important for the club and is leaving.

Salah believed the bizarre 10.30am meeting that day was going to see the German manager announce a new contract with the Merseyside club.
“The manager’s agent was there at the training ground and I thought: ‘Oh, he’s renewing his contract’.And five minutes before the meeting, Virgil [van Dijk] said: ‘Do you know what the meeting is about?’
“I said no. He said: ‘The manager is leaving’.
“I said: ‘Really, the manager is leaving? You serious? Why?’
“He said: ‘No idea’. Salah disclosed.
“Then the manager came in and he just said it and it was weird because no-one knew before. There was nothing in the media. He didn’t even prepare us for that, he just said it. That was a weird day for us and for the club.” Salah added.
