Mohamed Salah and financial collapse: Jurgen Klopp addresses six key Liverpool issues

Jurgen Klopp has bluntly told all of his players that they are simply not loved at Liverpool, if they are considering leaving if the team does not qualify for the Champions League next season.

But the Reds boss passionately stated that he knows every member of his squad well enough to trust that everyone, including Mo Salah, will have the loyalty to stay and fix things next season.

Speaking frankly for the first time about the apparent crisis that has engulfed the club, Klopp addressed many situations, stating:

• There are NO behind-the-scenes issues with Salah
• Won’t go in summer
• Failure to finish in the top four will not indicate a financial collapse
• The owners want him to stay to fix things
• He wants to keep his team together and give them a chance to earn more honors.
• It can still attract the best players if there is no Champions League next season.

Speaking about the possibility of missing the top four, he said: “If a player wants to leave because we don’t play CL, then I don’t want him.

“If a player doesn’t want to come to us because we don’t play the Champions League next season, then I don’t want him.

“And it is not a personal thing, but it is always like that. You always need to find the right gear for the challenges you face. Then do it. It’s nothing that worries me. “

And that includes Salah. The forward was visibly angry and upset when he was substituted in the 62nd minute of the crushing loss to Chelsea, and his agent poured gasoline on the fire from that controversy the next morning.

Salah’s manager Ramy Abbas Issa tweeted a dot and dot on his timeline, and many Liverpool fans interpreted it as a dire warning about the player’s future at Anfield … that it was the end.

However, Klopp insisted that his top scorer is happy: “These kinds of stories, they didn’t happen. I can’t guarantee it for the future, forever, to say it will never happen, but these kinds of discussions never happened, ”he said on suggestions that Salah is unhappy in some way.

“They replace you, you are a forward and you think you should stay on the field. That is not a problem, it is a normal life. Mo is in a good mood, not a problem.

“I make the decision, the boys accept it, nobody feels that they have nothing to do with the situation, that they are not responsible for it. I don’t do that, the players don’t do that. “

And Klopp insisted that EVERYONE at the club, including Salah, is fully committed to the cause of solving the crisis. He also explained that the owners trust him to fix it next season.

“We all know that we reached the top together, and now we have gathered here, and we will solve it together. That’s our idea, we all fight together now … all the boys feel that, ”he said.

“The situation at the club is also quite clear. The owners want me to fix the situation and I want to fix the situation with the players. This is the plan.

“I know we have the loyalty of the players. I don’t feel like the team leaves me alone, standing in the fire.

“It is not a situation where a player on the squad says that we are not in the Champions League, so I have to go. That will not happen. I know them well enough to know.”
