Jurgen Klopp hopes his new Liverpool contract can be a "positive sign" for Mohamed Salah in his own extension negotiations with the club.

Liverpool announced that Klopp has committed to fresh terms which will keep him at Anfield until 2026 on Thursday, two years beyond the expiry date on his previous deal.

The Reds have enjoyed great success under the German, who has made plenty of shrewd signings during his six-year reign, including Egyptian forward Salah from Roma in 2017.

Salah has hit 155 goals in 247 appearances for Liverpool since his arrival, helping the club win Premier League, Champions League and League Cup honours.

The Reds could end the campaign with an unprecedented quadruple, but the 29-year-old's contract is due to expire next summer and he has yet to reach an agreement over a renewal.

Asked if his new deal could influence Salah and Sadio Mane to extend their stays at Anfield, Klopp told a press conference: “That is more a question for the boys, what it exactly means for them but all fine, my relationship with them is great.

My point is in life there are more important things to think about, not only who is the manager but knowing who the manager and coaching staff is an important thing because when you know what you have with other clubs where you could go, you don’t know exactly.

"There is no 100 per cent in this business but I think it is pretty likely I will stay for a little bit longer because other coaches are there at other clubs. I think it is everything is clear I this moment.

"If it is a positive sign for the boys, great, but I don’t think this will be the one decisive thing for whatever decision they want to make. It is their own life but we just wanted to guarantee that everyone who wants to be here knows what he can expect."
