Jurgen Klopp has hailed Mohamed Salah as one of Liverpool's greatest ever players, predicting the forward's records will remain unmatched after his departure. The former Liverpool manager, back at Anfield for a charity match, praised Salah's incredible nine-year contribution that saw him score 255 goals and provide 119 assists in 435 appearances. Klopp signed Salah in 2017, and together they won the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup.

Salah announced he will leave Liverpool at season's end after reaching an agreement to end his contract early. The 33-year-old becomes a free agent and could play another six or seven years, according to Klopp. The manager highlighted Salah's exceptional professionalism and ability to handle criticism while maintaining his identity. Multiple Saudi Arabian clubs are reportedly interested in signing the Egyptian star this summer.

Andy Robertson, Salah's teammate since 2017, ranks him among Liverpool's greatest but believes Sir Kenny Dalglish remains the club's best player. Robertson praised Salah's consistency and impact over nine years, calling him both a team-mate and close friend. The defender emphasized that Salah's achievements place him in conversation with Liverpool legends like Dalglish, Steven Gerrard, and Ian Rush, cementing his status as a Premier League and Liverpool legend.
