Klopp hails Salah's impact as Liverpool legend prepares to depart Anfield...
Jurgen Klopp, former Liverpool boss, thinks Mo Salah could play until he's 40. Klopp believes Salah's departure from Liverpool creates opportunities for another standout player who's hard to replace.
Salah, 33, announced he'll leave Liverpool at the end of the season. The Egyptian is one of Liverpool's all-time greats, and his decision has sparked speculation about his future.
Mohamed Salah joined Liverpool in 2017 from AS Roma under Jürgen Klopp and played a key role in securing major trophies, including two Premier League titles, the Champions League, FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Cup, two League Cups, and a Community Shield.
“He set completely new standards for a professional football player - how hard you can work, how much you can invest in recovery and everything,” the German manager told the BBC ahead of a Legends charity game in Liverpool on Saturday.
"Now he leaves here but I would not be surprised if he plays another six or seven years.
“I'm sad but he's an all-time great without a shadow of a doubt and I'm really proud to be a part of that career.”
Klopp, who departed Liverpool in 2024, described Salah and the club as a “perfect match.”
“Mo and I had big dreams but we didn't dare to dream that big,” he said.
“I really think the whole relationship was a fair deal. An exceptional player, exceptional numbers and he earned some money, of course,« Klopp added.
