In an interview published by GQ, Mo Salah revealed that he is “not asking for crazy stuff” in his contract negotiations, as he reveals that it is left for Liverpool to decide his future.
The Egyptian, whose contract with Liverpool ends in the summer of 2023, has stated that he wants to stay at Liverpool but the two parties are yet to come to an agreement over contract extension.
“Nowadays it’s dangerous with these interviews when you don’t speak to the player himself,” Klopp said ahead of Thursday’s Carabao Cup visit of Arsenal, live on Sky Sports.
“I know Mo wants to stay, we want Mo to stay. These things take time, but I think all of it is in a good place. I’m very positive about it. The fans are not as nervous as you (the media) are.
“They know the club and know the people dealing with things here. We cannot say anything about it.”
Asked if talks were heading in the right direction, Klopp said: “Yeah. These things take time. There are so many things to do, by the way there is a third party agent there as well. But it’s nothing to worry about. He has a contract here this season and the next season.
“That is just the situation, but all fine. He’s a world-class player, great boy, done great stuff for Liverpool and we want to keep him.”
