The meeting itself was tense, with Klopp informing the team of his decision to leave, a move that was entirely unexpected and unpreceded by any media speculation. According to Salah, Klopp’s announcement was direct, with no prior indication or repeated discussions on the matter, marking a “very strange day” for the Egyptian star and his teammates.
Despite the significant change, Salah emphasized that his future at Liverpool remains unaffected by Klopp’s departure. He acknowledged that many key figures had previously left the club, suggesting that changes are part of the club’s journey. While acknowledging the inevitable nature of his own departure someday, Salah assured that Klopp’s exit does not influence his immediate decisions regarding his stay or departure from Liverpool.
