Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp angry at Mohamed Salah questions

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has reacted angrily to suggestions that the Saudi Pro League could continue its pursuit of Mohamed Salah in January.

Al-Ittihad recently tempted Liverpool with a huge bid for Salah while the transfer window remained open in Saudi Arabia. Liverpool stood firm, though, avoiding another of their players moving to the Middle East after Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Roberto Firmino.

One of the main reasons Liverpool were inclined to reject Al-Ittihad’s advances was the fact that they could not have immediately signed a replacement. When the transfer windows re-open in January, though, that will no longer be the case, which has led to plenty of speculation about suitors from the Saudi Pro League testing their resolve again at the next opportunity.

But when pressed on the topic of selling Salah in the winter, Klopp hit back at reporters during a Friday press conference.

The Liverpool boss responded: “A week after it closed you ask me about the January transfer window! You can’t wait until December to ask these questions?

“I’m not worried about and wasn’t until you opened the wound again. I’m not worried.”

While Salah has stayed put, the Saudi Pro League now contains several players who used to be at Klopp’s disposal. As well as the trio mentioned above, the likes of Sadio Mane and Georginio Wijnaldum have also ended up there.

Klopp reacts to Henderson interview
Probably the most controversial Saudi swoop for a Liverpool player, though, was when Al-Ettifaq bought Jordan Henderson.

The former Liverpool captain recently claimed he felt unwanted by the club towards the end of his time at Anfield. Now, Klopp has confirmed Henderson’s revelations that he could not offer him guarantees about gametime.

Klopp said: “I didn’t read the interview at first, then read it so I can make my own opinion. Hendo said the truth. That’s how it was.

“We had talks, I told him I wanted him to stay but we talked about maybe not playing regularly.

“I cannot tell a player they can have 50 games because I don’t know that. In our relationship, I thought it was important we speak about ‘what happens if’.

“Hendo, I love him but he was not great when they didn’t play, Milner and Lucas were the same. So we talk about that now.

“So in Hendo’s ears and mind, he thought I didn’t want him there. If I said Hendo would be the main man for me he would stay but I couldn’t. That’s why it’s better he moved on.

“Not a bit of bad blood. Captain of the best Liverpool team in the Premier League era.”

Klopp was speaking ahead of Liverpool’s return to action against Wolves in the Saturday lunchtime kick-off. You can see Robbie Savage’s prediction for TEAMtalk here.

 Mail Sport’s new WhatsApp Channel: Get the breaking news and exclusives here

Liverpool’s Women’s team have moved into the club’s famous Melwood Training Ground, as it was officially opened on Friday. 

 

Officially called the AXA Melwood Training Ground, it will be home to the club’s women’s team ahead of the new Barclay’s WSL season that kicks off this weekend, moving from their current base at Tranmere on the Wirral. 

 

The state-of-the art facility is the new day-to-day base of Matt Beard’s team and Reds skipper believes Niamh Fahey the move is a massive step for the women’s side. 

 

 

‘Melwood is such an historic place for the club and it’s the beginning of a new era now for Liverpool FC Women,’ the captain told Liverpoolfc.com. ‘So to be here at Melwood and for this to be our home, it’s really special. 

 

‘It’s an elite facility and I think it’s going to do wonders for the club. Obviously for us to be in this environment now, it’s going to make a massive difference. Everyone is absolutely buzzing.

‘The pitches are exceptional as well – we don’t have any excuses now. It’s top-class.

 

‘We needed an elite facility to be able to grow, progress and obviously attract the best talent, and it’s just fantastic for us as players to be in this environment day in, day out.’

 

Liverpool’s men’s side first trained at Melwood in the 1950s and it was their famous first-team training ground until November 2020, when they moved to a new £50m facility in Kirby. 

 

Despite local protests planning permission was granted on the site in 2017 for a new housing development, with a proposed plan of 170 new properties approved to be built. 

 

However, once the Robbie Fowler-Jamie Carragher academy moved in to train Liverpool’s young stars, plans started to change and earlier this year the club bought back the site with a view to making it the home of their women’s team.

Over the summer the facilites have been upgraded ready for the women’s side to move in

Having been refurbished, redevelopment and upgraded over the summer, Melwood will now host both the women’s first-team, youth teams as well as continue to run the the Robbie Fowler Education and Football Academy. 

 

Liverpool kick-off the new WSL campaign with a tough trip to Arsenal on Sunday, having added seven new faces to Beard’s squad as they look to improve on last season’s seventh place finish, and captain Fahey is exited about the season ahead.

 

Adding: ‘We have had a really good transfer window and the girls that have come in have been exceptional, have slotted in seamlessly and have really good talent as well.

 

‘We’ve got a lot of competition now and that’s what we need to push ourselves forward, and I think it’s going to be a really good year for us.’
