Question of the new contract for Mohamed Salah, who is demonstrating excellent form, is still delicate. Jurgen Klopp stated at a press conference that negotiations with the player's side are ongoing, but such decisions take time. "Negotiations are ongoing. Extending a contract with a player like Mo cannot be done over a cup of tea, during lunch. It is normal. I can only say a few things because not everything can be said publicly. Everything is fine for Mohamed, and for me as well. I think it's clear what we want, but these things take time, that's just how it is," said the Liverpool coach. The Egyptian himself said a few days ago: "If it were up to me, I would stay at Liverpool. But everything is in the hands of the board." Mohamed Salah's current contract is valid until 2023.
