Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool after nine years, and social media had an avalanche of reactions.

Sources understand and can explain why the prospects of Jurgen Klopp returning for a second spell as Liverpool manager can be instantly forgotten about, despite the Reds icon admitting for the first time that he is now tempted to resume his coaching career.

The Liverpool statement ends: “With plenty still left to play for this season, Salah is firmly focused on trying to achieve the best possible finish to the campaign for Liverpool and, therefore, the time to fully celebrate his legacy and achievements will follow later in the year when he bids farewell to Anfield.”

The 33-year-old will not see through the end of his contract with the Reds.
