Klopp says all-time great Salah will go ‘unmatched’ at Liverpool

Jurgen Klopp says that Mo Salah will leave Liverpool as one of the club’s greatest ever players whose records will go unmatched.

Salah has won every available trophy since joining Liverpool from Roma in 2017 and is the club’s third-highest goal scorer behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt.

Klopp: All-time great Salah will go ‘unmatched’ at Liverpool

Klopp believes the 33-year-old is “right up there” with the very best footballers to have ever played for the Merseyside outfit.

“I cannot compare with others really, only with the people and players I worked together with,” he said. “But in my time, and since I’m really following or working for Liverpool, he’s definitely up there with the greatest.

“But I don’t have to say that because you read the numbers, you know already there’s something special.”

Salah has registered a phenomenal 255 goals and 119 assists in 435 appearances at Liverpool.

Klopp continued: “The numbers he produced, the standards he set, I think some of them, if not all, will stay unmatched. In this modern Premier League era, definitely, because it’s just ridiculous to do that

“He helped the team to be very, very successful. He was successful himself, which is rare in this sport, but as a striker you have to take criticism.

“To deal with all that and to stay by yourself, to stay yourself, is really tricky, and he did that in exceptional ways. He’s one of the best professionals I’ve ever met, one of the best people I’ve ever met.

“We texted the other day and we had our arguments, but it was always for the right reasons, and it’s always fine, and especially now looking back, it’s more than fine.

“We are both really happy about being part of that incredible journey. An all-time great, definitely, without a shadow of a doubt.”

Salah’s agent says the 33-year-old does know where he will end up playing next, although he has been linked with moves to the Saudi Pro League and MLS. Klopp believes he could keep playing until he’s 40.

“I would not be surprised if he plays another six or seven years, to be honest,” he added.

“He is an incredible professional, he set completely new standards for a professional football player, how hard you can work, how much you can invest in recovery and everything, if something came up, he got all the information about it, and then he had it the next day, and if it was not good, he threw it away again.”
