Sadio has been criminally underpaid for a long time. I'd understand if that was an issue for him with a new contract.
Probably was expecting us to win the final so winning it was his parting gift.

the thought of sadio leaving makes me sad
In many respects last night's Salah news is more disappointing that Mane's news. Mane wants to leave now in part so we can get a transfer fee. Salah by reports will get his money or play against us from 2023-24. Make no mistake - his legacy at the club takes a hit if leaves for another EPL club.
Perhaps it's time to move on if we want to continue with the "more with less" model that has worked so well for us since Klopp arrived. We have Diaz, who if he becomes more clinical will probably replicate Salah's output. We have Jota who needs to be better at hold up play but otherwise does a lot of what peak Firmino did. We would need to find another two forwards. Bobby, as I predicted, looks likely to accept a lesser role to stay at the club he loves. It might just be time.

FSG won’t pay Salah anywhere near what he wants. The owners have been running sports franchises for how long now? Three decades and there’s nothing that suggests that Salah will be at Liverpool beyond next season.

Big changes I feel this summer. Next season will be interesting.
I'm not convinced Salah will return to his pre AFCON form. Unless his Liverpool contract or Egypt missing out on the World Cup has really ducked him around mentally. At the end of the day we have Klopp who will have a big influence with the owners on what these players are paid or let go. Klopp has the uncanny ability of bringing in seemingly ok footballers and turning them into superstars
I think he rests up over the next four weeks and destroys the PL next season in order to prove a point. That point may be squarely directed at the Fenway Sports Group.
I just hope he realises all the gracious posts thanking Liverpool fans won't save him in the eyes of many if he goes off to Newcastle United in 2023. He'll get the Michael Owen reception IMO.

Silver lining is Salah won't have the distraction of the wold cup next season either
Think it'll be a mistake if we let Mo leave on a free, now that Sadio leaves it's imperative we sign him up. Letting both leave is a huge blow
It's just a mistake in general to let your biggest players get within 2 years left in their contracts anyway, we need to sign them up early, whatever money we save in wages is easily offset by the transfer fee we miss out on by letting them walk out on a free

I'd hope that with the EPL taking an enforced break during the WC it would mean Salah along with our other players who won't be there (Matip, Robbo, Diaz etc) would get a good rest and then attack the second half of the season with renewed energy, in contrast to what we saw at the end of this season.
However I have feeling that FIFA will sanction a heap of useless friendlies.
Wouldn't they take focus away from their world cup? I think those named will get their rest.

Super sad about Sadio. What an unreal player and an absolute character. What a pleasure to watch him and watch him within that front three.
What a moment. Pretty much put all doubts to rest immediately and the celebration was definitive of what became the Klopp era.

Sounds like he just tried to crack a joke that didn't come off well, didn't think there was much in it anyway. Sadio's a damn fine human being and he can leave with our blessings. The money Bayern is offering to him is impossible to turn down
Still makes me so damn sad, what a legend, gonna be as sad when Bobby and Mo leaves, the front 3 will live in folklore forever. 400 goals between them in 6 years

There would have been quite a bit of lost in translation in it.

Really dont want Sadio to leave.
FSG need to stop being a bunch of campaigners and pay Mo and pay Sadio!
