Klopp has firmly dismissed suggestions Mohamed Salah is unhappy and says he would personally drive any wantaway player to their new club if they asked to leave Liverpool over a lack of Champions League football.
Salah said he was "totally devastated" by failure to secure a top-four spot
Klopp believes the content of Salah's message and his repeated use of the word 'we' is indicative of a player who feels just as responsible for Liverpool's poor term as the rest of the squad

"I only heard what he said," Klopp said of Salah's post. "I couldn't read or see anything that would lead in that direction. It is how I said Mo loves being here and Mo was part of the apologies for what we did not apologise for what the other guys did. No, it is all fine.
"If ever a player comes to me and says: 'We didn’t qualify for the Champions League now I have to leave', then I would drive him to another club. Like I say, I would take the key [ask him], 'where do you want to go? I will drive you'. Because that would be something I would never understand.
"I would never say: 'I need to work in the Champions League so now I go.' I am responsible for this mess or whatever, so I cannot leave in these moments. It is not the case, not at all and nobody else asks me. They ask me if they can have an extra day off after their holidays or whatever when they have to come back, so that was not in our conversations."
