Klopp hopeful

LIVERPOOL manager Jurgen Klopp does not believe his new deal will be the deciding factor on whether the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane commit their futures to the club.

The pair, along with Roberto Firmino and midfielder Naby Keita, have contracts that expire next summer and negotiations have dragged on for some time.

With Klopp now staying until 2026 there is a greater degree of security at the club but the manager is not convinced that this will make a huge difference to individual players’ decisions.

“That is a question for the boys what it means to them but it’s all fine, my relationship with them is great,” he said.
