– Klopp said: “In life, there are more things to think about than who the manager is, but knowing who the manager and coaching staff are is an important thing.
– “If it is a positive sign for the boys, then great, but I don’t think this will be the one decisive thing for whatever decision they have to make. It’s their own life.
– “We just wanted to guarantee that everyone who wants to be here knows what he can expect.”
– Salah has said he would like to stay at Liverpool and recently said “it’s not everything about the money”.
– Forward Roberto Firmino and midfielder Naby Keita’s contracts also run out next summer.
– Liverpool, who trail Premier League leaders Manchester City by one point with five games remaining, travel to Newcastle on Saturday.
