After a long and not always easy negotiation.
'Momo' Salah would be close to renewing his contract with Liverpool.
The former Roma player would earn double what he earns so far, bringing his salary from 200 thousand to 400 thousand pounds (about 480 thousand euros) a week, for a four-year constraint, a decisive factor in convincing the Egyptian.
So the topic of Salah's renewal was at the center of Juergen Klopp's press conference on the eve of the Champions League quarter-final match against Liverpool.
"Well so, I'm happy - the comment of the Reds coach -. There is nothing new to say. The parties are talking to each other and this is all I wanted to hear".
A consideration on Benfica: "it's a team that plays well,
with high backs as if they were forwards.
They risk a lot - Klopp underlined - .. We have to be good at recovering balls and winning duels, and then take advantage of the spaces.
Maybe they will play against us in a completely different way, so we will have to adapt.
They are a mix of technique, speed and good organization ".
