The match against West Ham ended in a draw, meaning Liverpool dropped out of the title race. Klopp had opted for the important match to start Salah from the bench and only give him playing time in the 82nd minute.

The star player received some instructions from the German coach just before the substitution, which went wrong with the Egyptian. Salah lunged against Klopp and had to be stopped by Darwin Nuñez. Afterwards, Salah did not want to give interviews. He protected himself. “If I speak today, everything will explode.” Klopp stopped short afterwards. “We talked about it in the locker room and that’s it,” said the outgoing coach.

Salah still has one year left on his contract at Anfield, but a departure in the summer seems increasingly likely. Last year, clubs from Saudi Arabia came knocking with a mega bid for the attacker. Arne Slot, the trainer who will almost certainly switch from Feyenoord to Liverpool, immediately has a tough task: can he convince the Egyptian superstar to stay?
