Although he failed at Chelsea, Egyptian international Mohamed Salah’s second Premier League challenge at Liverpool has produced terrific numbers.
He has scored a huge amount of goals in his first season with the club, and in recent years has not only scored but also shown his ability to provide assists.
At 32, he still reigns as one of the Premier League’s leading strikers and has already recorded double figures in both goals and assists this season. The right winger is continuing to evolve, but his contract with Liverpool is about to expire.
Negotiations continue but no agreement has been reached, and interest has also arrived from Saudi Arabia.
The situation continues to be frustrating, but Jurgen Klopp, speaking at his inaugural press conference as Head of Red Bull Global Football, said he hoped Egyptian King would stay at Anfield.
“I hope he stays. He is Liverpool’s best striker in modern times – and they had many great ones,”
“A fantastic player, a fantastic professional. Absolutely outstanding.”
“The best ambassador Egypt could have.”
The German captain left Liverpool at the end of last season. He led the team at Anfield for almost nine long years.
In recent years he has turned the team into one that always competes at the top of the table, but when he first took over he struggled to rebuild the team.
Having won all manner of titles, including the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup, the legendary manager has stepped down from his role as manager and revealed that he is excited about his new job at Red Bull as Head of Global Football.
“Because it’s a different role. I’ve always said that I love what I do.”
“After a thousand matches and press conferences, I wanted a fresh start and a new opportunity,”
“For the stage of my life, it’s the perfect step now.”
“Now I have a fantastic team. Mario Gomez is part of the international team. Everyone is passionate about this company. I am absolutely happy to be doing this.”
