Klopp says the ball is in Salah's court with regards to his contract extension

Mohamed Salah’s contract situation is worrying quite a lot of Liverpool fans, but not Jurgen Klopp.

The German revealed that the club have begun talks to extend Salah’s contract, but an agreement is yet to be reached between the two parties.

He said in a press conference ahead of his side’s clash against Brighton:

“I think Mo definitely expects this club to be ambitious, we were in the last years and we are… no, of course we cannot do much more [in the talks], that’s how it is. But I don’t think it’s about that, I think meanwhile it is Mo’s decision pretty much; I think the club did what the club can do, that’s how it is. There’s nothing to say about it, it’s all fine.

Klopp added that the club are not rushing the situation:

“From my point of view it’s exactly like it should be in this moment in time and everything is said. Nothing happened further, so no signing, no rejection or whatever. So we just have to wait for that, it’s completely fine. There is no rush in that situation.
