Salah's social media: 'The fans deserve it'

“We know that trophies are the most important,” said Salah. “We will do everything possible to make that happen next season. Our fans deserve it and we will fight like hell.”

Salah was forced out of the Africa Cup of Nations bid in Egypt in January, scored just four goals for the club after New Year's Day and was handed a warning following Liverpool's draw at West Ham on April 27.

Having been seen sparring with Klopp when he was introduced as a late substitute, Salah said there would be “fire” when asked what would happen if he spoke about the incident.

“We talked about that in the dressing room,” Klopp said later. “It has happened to me.”

If Salah stays, he will be managed by current Feyenoord manager Arne Slot as he tries to add to his 210 goals in 346 games for Liverpool.

Dutchman Slot was confirmed as Liverpool's new manager on Monday, tasked with replacing the coach whose trophies include the Champions League in 2018/19 and the Premier League the following year.

The 45-year-old won the Dutch title with Feyenoord and the attacking style he is recognized for could suit Salah as he plans to return to his best form.
