Jurgen Klopp believes Mohamed Salah could continue playing professional football for another six or seven years, potentially until the age of 40, after the Egyptian forward announced his departure from Liverpool at season's end. The German manager, who signed Salah from Roma in 2017, praised the 33-year-old's professionalism and work ethic during their successful partnership.

Salah has scored 255 goals for Liverpool, placing him third on the club's all-time scoring list behind Ian Rush and Roger Hunt. Under Klopp's management, the duo won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, two League Cups, Uefa Super Cup, and Fifa Club World Cup. Klopp described Salah as "an all-time great" who set new standards for professional footballers.

The manager emphasized that Salah's departure represents a "fair deal" for both parties, noting the exceptional numbers and earnings the forward achieved during his Liverpool career. Klopp dismissed any notion of bad sentiment, calling their relationship more than fine despite occasional arguments. He expressed confidence that Liverpool will find suitable replacements as Salah moves on to his next chapter.
