Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has rejected claims that Mohamed Salah could leave the club after the forward refused to rule out a move to Barcelona or Real Madrid in the future.
In an interview with AS, Salah said his future was “in the hands of the club” but Klopp said the Egyptian international is in a good mood at Anfield.

“We never speak [about contracts]”Klopp said at a press conference ahead of Liverpool’s Premier League clash against West Bromwich Albion on Sunday.
“Mo is in a good mood and in a moment, shape and that’s the most important thing. You would have seen him laugh a lot [today].
“The rest is good for you to write down, but internally, nothing really [to say]. “
Salah came off the bench to contribute two goals and an assist in Liverpool’s 7-0 win at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Klopp said the result nullified the humiliating 7-2 loss at Aston Villa earlier this season.
“7-0 is a number that you don’t see often,” Klopp added. “After the [Palace] game, my thought was we canceled [Villa]. We didn’t mention that game much to get the guys to move on.
“It’s not a benchmark. A good day, clinical completion. The game was tough and the guys took notice.”
Klopp also said that Thiago Alcantara is taking his “first steps” towards a full recovery, but is not yet available for West Brom’s game.
