West Ham United attacker Michail Antonio has revealed what the Liverpool manager said to his player Mohamed in their infamous touchline spat.

Klopp and Salah descended into a full-blown verbal row during Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with West Ham United on Saturday, April 27.

The pair were seen in a bitter verbal exchange that was tamed by Darwin Nunez’s timely intervention. While the ugly scenery was zoomed clearly to the glares stunned viewers, what the pair said to each other has been a subject of debate.

Now, Michail Antonio, who scored the equaliser for West Ham during the match, has revealed what Jurgen Klopp said to Salah. Speaking on Footballer’s Football Podcast, Antonio said;

“As the (Liverpool) players come on, Klopp always gives them a big hug and says “good luck”, but when Mo came on he walked in a different direction and was doing his shinpads and stuff like that.

”’Klopphas put his hand out to him and his hand was there for a bit and as Mo stopped doing what he was doing, he just slapped his (Klopp’s) hand as a high five. ”Obviously, Klopp didn’t like that and he was like, “do you want to sit back down?”, basically saying, “do you want to go on?” And nobody has told me what Mo said back.”

On Salah’s response to Klopp, we reported earlier a lip reader, John Cassidy, revealed to SPORTbible that Salah did not use a swear word on Jurgen Klopp but was trying to explain himself to the flaring boss.

There have been speculations on the future of Salah in the aftermath of the fallout but Futballnews understands Liverpool chiefs consider Salah integral to the Reds’ squad.

With 12 months left on his contract, he is reportedly expected to be a part of the Reds’ squad next season and possibly renew his contract with the club if Saudi interests are warded off by the club.
