[골닷컴] Reporter Man-Sung Han = Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp showed a relaxed appearance, saying that the possibility of attacker Mohamed Salah’s advance to La Liga in Spain, which was recently raised, was inflated through the media.
During an interview with the Spanish newspaper’AS’, Salah recently replied that “both teams are top-notch teams” regarding the possibility of a transfer to Real Madrid or Barcelona. “No one knows what will happen in the future.

In fact, Salah has been publicly dissatisfied with Liverpool’s refusal to take over as captain in a recent Champions League match against Mittwilan, although most of the top players were excluded.
However, coach Klopp told an official press conference on the 25th (Korean time), “Mo (Sala’s nickname) is in a very good mood now. He is in good shape. That is the most important news for us. He was laughing at the training ground today. The media will do the rest for you, but we haven’t even said anything internally,” he said.
