Mohamed Salah: Jurgen Klopp ‘not worried’ about Egyptian winger’s future at Liverpool

Salah has scored 19 goals and provided 11 assists in the Premier League this season

Jurgen Klopp says he is “not worried” about Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool, although the winger said he was “devastated” by his failure to qualify for the Champions League.
Salah posted his comments on social media shortly after Manchester United’s 4-1 win over Chelsea on Thursday robbed Liverpool of a place in the top four.
Klopp’s side will finish fifth and play in the Europa League next season

“Mo loves being here and Mo was part of it,” Klopp said on Friday.

“He apologized for what ‘we’ did – not for what others did, but I had to go with them. It’s okay.”

The Egypt international said on Twitter on Thursday: “There is absolutely no excuse for this.” We had everything we needed to enter the Champions League next year and we failed.
“We are Liverpool and qualifying for the competition is the bare minimum. I’m sorry, but it’s too early for an encouraging or optimistic message. We’ve let you and ourselves down.

Salah, who signed a new three-year contract with Liverpool worth over £350,000 a week last summer, has scored 19 league goals this season.
Asked if he was worried about Salah’s future at the club following the 30-year-old’s comments on social media, the Liverpool manager replied: “Don’t worry, no.” I only heard what he said, but couldn’t read anything that would lead in that direction.
“If a player ever came to me and said, ‘Oh, we haven’t qualified for the Champions League, I have to go’, I would drive him to the other club myself.”
“I would take the key and say, ‘Come with the car, where are you going, I’ll drive you’.”

United needed just one point at home to Chelsea in the penultimate game of the season to secure their Champions League place.
Liverpool have won seven of their last eight games and struggled late for fourth place, but were unable to recover from their inconsistent form in the first half of the season.
Klopp said the team were still “really united” despite the disappointment of missing out on the final Champions League play-off spot. “We didn’t point the finger at each other. It’s all good. If you don’t qualify for the Champions League, the best place you can get is fifth, that’s what we did,” he said. he said ahead of Liverpool’s visit to Southampton on Sunday.
“If you had asked me ten games ago if it was possible, I would have said no. That the guys did that is really good, but it’s not perfect.” “We didn’t finish fifth because of the last 10 games, we ended up there because of lack of consistency before then.”
