Arne Slot spoke about working with Mohamed Salah in his final days as a Liverpool player.
The Egyptian announced that he would be leaving Anfield at the end of this season after nine years at the club. He will depart as the club’s all time Premier League top scorer and a legend of the division.
The legacy of the 34-year-old will continue to be a talking point until the end of the campaign, but the Reds remain focused on producing a run-in to remember for all parties involved— including Salah.
Slot reflects on Salah's final season
“He trained with us yesterday. He will train with us today and is available for the game tomorrow. I think what has happened after he announced it is what he completely deserves.
“His teammates, anyone everywhere around the world that was asked about his legacy said the words that needed to be said. It's been unbelievable what he did for this club for so many years every three days, scoring the goals he did, having assists, the impact he had on this club, winning the trophies.
“I saw a beautiful photo of him in front of all of the trophies he's won individually and as a team, and I can only hope that he can add two extra trophies to it towards the end of the season.
“For Mo, I think it doesn't matter if he's going to leave the club or if he's going to stay. That's what he's shown in all these eight or nine years – that he was always available in his best possible shape.
“And that doesn't change, not in a positive way now he's leaving in the end because Mo has always given everything he's got for this club in all the years that he's been here.
“I would hope that he could give maybe even more but that's not realistic because he always gave everything he had, and he will try doing that till the end of the season. If we have a Mo in the form he's had for so many years, that will be a big help for us towards the end of the season.”
