Klopp joined Liverpool in October 2015 and has won six trophies with the Reds, including the Premier League title in 2020 and the Champions League trophy the year before.
Former Liverpool striker Stan Collymore says Klopp’s exit may not actually have all that strong a bearing on Salah’s decision.

The 31-year-old has been linked to a move to Saudi Arabia and in fact, the Reds rejected a £150m offer from Al-Ittihad last summer.

“One of the biggest talking points following Klopp’s announcement has been what it may mean for Mo Salah. Will he go to Saudi in the summer? Will he stay? Will he sign a new contract? – Nobody knows, but I am not sure Klopp’s departure has anything to do with whatever Salah decides,” Collymore was quoted on TeamTalk.

Turning focus to Klopp, he said the Liverpool manager had done it all.
“I think the fact Klopp has done it all and won it all, along with other factors, such as having to do everything the hard way in comparison with his biggest rival Pep Guardiola has played a part over the years.
“Obviously, Liverpool are a top club and they’ve got a lot of money, but Klopp has probably felt at times like he is pushing water up a hill. Salah and Sadio Mane turned out to be incredible transfers, but Liverpool’s owners hardly broke the bank for either, and not only that, but he couldn’t keep the pair together – he had to lose one of them, which obviously turned out to be Mane to Bayern Munich.”
