Salah refuses interviews after row with Klopp: 'If I speak today…'

According to Jurgen Klopp, there is no argument between him and Mohamed Salah. The Liverpool manager got into trouble on Saturday in the final phase of the away match against West Ham United (2-2) with the attacker, who was allowed to appear as a substitute for a few minutes, but the Reds could not deliver the much-desired victory. Salah, however, has a completely different sound.

Salah was clearly not pleased with the last words spoken to him by Klopp and visibly showed this. Darwin Núñez, who was also used as a substitute at Liverpool, even had to calm Salah on the sidelines.

Klopp would rather not elaborate further on the altercation with Salah afterwards. “No. But we have already spoken to each other in the dressing room. And for me that is the end of it,” the departing manager emphasizes in conversation with TNT Sports.

While Klopp emphasizes that peace has already been signed, Salah comes up with a completely different reading. The substitute refused to give interviews while walking through the mixed zone, although he did issue a short statement. “If I speak today, there will be fire,” Salah is quoted as saying, among others The Athletic.

Salah seemed to have a good relationship with Klopp for a long time, but the situation now seems to be completely different. The now 31-year-old attacker has been regularly used as a substitute in recent weeks, although this also has to do with Liverpool's overcrowded schedule.

Partly because of this, the English media are speculating about Salah's interim departure from Liverpool. The veteran is fixed at Anfield until mid-2025 and can be sold for a nice amount this summer. Salah has 210 goals for Liverpool in 346 appearances in all competitions.

Salah was a driving force of Liverpool that won the Champions League in 2019 and a year later the first national title in 30 years. He won with the Reds also the FA Cup, the EFL Cup (three times), the Community Shield, the European Super Cup and the Club World Cup.
