Those rumours intensified after Klopp confirmed earlier this year that he will be leaving the club at the end of the campaign, however Salah is not planning following the German.

"No," Salah said, when asked if Klopp's decision will impact his decision.

"It's part of life now, that everything moves. Players have left already, very important players.

The manager is also very important for the club and is leaving.

"One day I will leave the club, but no [Klopp leaving doesn't affect my future]."

The Egyptian forward is revealed how he found out about Klopp's shock announcement at the training ground.

"Usually we don't do meetings at 10.30am, as 10.30 is the report time," Salah added. 

"It's normally a 10.30 meet time and then 12 noon training. Then they said there was a meeting at 10.30am. I was like: 'What?' 

"The manager's agent was there at the training ground and I thought: 'Oh, he's renewing his contract'.

"And five minutes before the meeting, Virgil [van Dijk] said: 'Do you know what the meeting is about?'

"I said no. He said: 'The manager is leaving'.

"I said: 'Really, the manager is leaving? You serious? Why?'

"He said: 'No idea'.

"Then the manager came in and he just said it and it was weird because no-one knew before. There was nothing in the media. He didn't even prepare us for that, he just said it. That was a weird day for us and for the club."
