Jurgen Klopp reveals message for Mohamed Salah ahead of Liverpool exit | OneFootball

Jurgen Klopp has revealed how he exchanged text messages with Mohamed Salah after the Liverpool star confirmed his Anfield exit at the end of the season.

Salah released a video explaining that he will prematurely end his time with the Reds, despite one more year remaining on his contract, with the club and player mutually agreeing to end the deal.

Salah created history under Klopp, landing Premier League and Champions League titles during a glittering spell together, and the German has reacted to the Egyptian’s decision.

"I hope he can have a successful rest of the season,” Klopp told The Anfield Wrap. “We texted last night but I really hope he enjoys the rest of the season, but I know Mo can only enjoy it if you win football matches and he scores.

"I really hope that on the last matchday, you all will have a smile on your face, be happy and thankful that one of the most incredible careers that we will ever be apart of.

“Where he came from, what he went through and what he gave us, incredible. When you work with him, the bigger view is just ridiculous, unmatched numbers.

“We may sit here in 10 years, maybe Hugo Ekitike (breaks his record), but it will be difficult. One of the all-time greats leaves the club in the summer, let's see where he will show up next."

Klopp also highlighted the incredible numbers and consistency displayed by the 33-year-old during his nine seasons at the club.

"It was a joy, a challenge, hard work from both sides [to work together], but an incredible outcome,” Klopp added. “I couldn't imagine something like this was possible, the numbers he produced, the performances, some of them will be unmatched, I'm sure.

"I already look back and I can't believe how something like this was possible. The goals he scored, consistency he showed, the desire and eagerness to grow bigger and bigger."
