‘Mo is in a good mood and in a moment’ – Mohamed Salah is happy at Liverpool, says Jurgen Klopp

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp insists that Mohamed Salah is happy at Liverpool.

Salah told Madrid daily AS in an interview last weekend that he admired Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​fueling rumors in the press that the forward was looking to move on.

“We never talk (about contracts),” Klopp told reporters ahead of West Bromwich Albion’s visit on Sunday. “Mo is in a good mood and in a moment, and that’s the most important thing.

Salah stayed on the bench for last weekend’s 7-0 thrashing at Crystal Palace, but scored two goals when he came in to help the Premier League leaders maintain their excellent form.

Champions Liverpool are undefeated in 10 league games and have conceded just eight goals since losing 7-2 at Aston Villa in October, winning three of the last four.

They are the first team to spend three Christmases in a row leading the English top flight, having also accomplished the feat between 1978 and 1980, but Klopp is not getting carried away.

“7-0 is a number that you don’t see often,” Klopp said. “After the (Palace) game I thought we canceled (Villa).

“Up is the best position you can be in right now, but that’s about it. We know how difficult it is. It’s nice, nothing more. If we want to do something special, we focus until the end of the season.”

Klopp also confirmed that the Thiago Alcantara signing is not ready to return against West Brom after missing the last nine games with a knee injury.

“Thiago took the first steps towards training the team,” he added. “But it’s not full yet. After a long time, we can’t rush.”
