Mohamed Salah has pledged his long-term commitment to Liverpool by admitting he wants to stay at Anfield for as long as he can.

The Egypt international, the Premier League’s top scorer this season with 13 goals, has a contract until the summer of 2023 and has said he wants to stay and continue to break records with the Reds.

However just before Christmas, the forward, in a rare interview, voiced his disappointment at not being named captain for their Champions League group match against FC Midtjylland and fuelled speculation by talking about the “great” clubs of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Asked about his future by Norwegian channel TV2 , Salah said: “I do not know. If you ask, I say I want to stay here as long as I can, but, as I have said before, it is in the hands of the club.

“I will always give 100 per cent to the last minute I am in this club and I want to win as many trophies as I can.

“And I want to give 100 per cent to the people, who show me love all the time.”

At the time, Jurgen Klopp played down the significance of the answers Salah gave on Barcelona and Real Madrid, although he admitted the club could not force people to stay.

“We never speak [about contracts],” Klopp said last month.

“Mo is in a good mood and moment, shape and that is the most important thing. You would have seen him laughing a lot [today].

The rest is nice for you to write about but internally, nothing really [to say].”

After a run of four goals in four league matches Salah’s blank in Sunday’s goalless draw with Manchester United made it four games without a goal for the forward.

Klopp’s side, who are fourth in the Premier League table and three points behind leaders United, face Burnley (January 21), United again in the FA Cup (January 24), Tottenham (January 28), and West Ham (January 31) before the end of this month.
