Jurgen Klopp just extended his tenure at Liverpool on Thursday (28/4/2022). The German manager is certain to be at Anfield until June 2024. Klopp's contract actually still lasts until the end of the 2023/2024 season.
However, the Reds decided to award a new contract because the coach was considered successful in restoring Liverpool's glory. This certainty removes fans' concerns regarding Klopp's future. The reason, a number of big clubs were reportedly tempted to use his services.
Jurgen Klopp's contract extension does not seem to only have an impact on the fans. The 54-year-old manager considers his new deal to be an important aspect that is useful for binding Mohamed Salah to a new contract at Liverpool.
As is well known, Salah's tenure at Liverpool will end in June 2023. The Reds certainly don't want to lose their goalscoring machine on a free transfer. However, Salah has yet to seal a new contract with the club.
Reports earlier this month claimed the player was going through a lot. His discussions with Liverpool never progressed. The Egyptian player reportedly had asked for a salary increase. Unfortunately, the Premier League giants have not been able to meet these requirements.
Meanwhile, Salah is an important player in Jurgen Klopp's squad. He was even rewarded with the 2021-22 FWA Player of the Year award for his impressive performances throughout this season. Salah is known to have scored 30 goals in all competitions.
"It's better to ask the players, but that's okay. I really think they are great. They have more to think about than management. However, it (a contract extension at Liverpool) is an important thing," said the coach when asked about the impact of signing his new contract on Mohamed Salah's future.
Salah is known to have been a key player behind Liverpool's success since his arrival from AS Roma in the summer of 2017. He has occupied the throne as the Premier League's top scorer this season, having scored 22 times.
Salah also managed to lift a number of prestigious trophies with Jurgen Klopp's squad. They have won the Premier League, Champions League, English League Cup, Club World Cup, and the European Super Cup.
