The ball is in Mo Salah’s court over a new Liverpool contract, insists Jurgen Klopp.

The Egyptian has been a sensation during his time at Liverpool and many fans are nervous about the prospect of losing him if terms cannot be agreed.

Salah’s current deal runs until 2023 but the topic of his renewal has been repeatedly brought up this season.

Ahead of this Saturday’s early kick-off against Brighton, Klopp was asked whether the club could do any more to tie Salah down on a new contract.

He said: ‘Mo definitely expects this club to be ambitious, we were in the last years and we are.

‘Of course we cannot do much more, that’s how it is, I think meanwhile it is Mo’s decision, pretty much.

‘I think the club did what the club can do. There’s nothing more to say about it from my point of view, it is exactly like it should be at the moment.

‘Nothing happened further, so no signing, no rejection or whatever so we just have to wait for that, it’s completely fine, there’s no rush in this situation.’

Salah has scored 19 Premier League goals this season so far to lead the race for the Golden Boot.

He’s also scored eight goals in eight Champions League games to help the Reds into the quarter-finals of the competition.

Liverpool remain six points behind Manchester City with one game in hand and face a tough challenge against the Seagulls this weekend.

They are on a run of seven successive wins in the league and know only three points will do if they are to keep taking the fight to Pep Guardiola’s men.
