Jurgen Klopp was the man who bought Mohamed Salah to Liverpool with the Egyptian going on to score over 250 times - but the German has cited one man who could pass that figureJurgen Klopp has suggested that Hugo Ekitike could surpass Mohamed Salah's Liverpool goals record if he sticks around for the next decade.The Egyptian announced this week that he would leave Anfield in the summer with the two parties choosing to rip up his contract, which had a year to run, by mutual consent. He would need to score 25 times a year for the next decade if he was to surpass Salah, which Klopp confessed would be a tall order.READ MORE: Former Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp breaks silence on Mo Salah exitREAD MORE: Jurgen Klopp speaks on Liverpool return as Anfield icon set for emotional reunionThe German told The Anfield Wrap : "I hope he [Salah] can have a successful rest of the season.

We texted actually last night, I really hope he enjoys the rest of the season but I know Mo can only enjoy it if you win football matches and he scores. Where he came from, what he went through and what he gave us… incredible."In the moment, when you work with him, the bigger view it’s ridiculous, just ridiculous, unmatched numbers, we may sit here in 10 years, maybe Ekitike [will break his record] but it will be difficult.

One of the all time greats, definitely, will leave the club in the summer, and let’s see where he will show up next."Klopp has also addressed a story which has previously claimed he wanted to sign Julian Brandt from Borussia Dortmund, not Salah, in the summer of 2017. The Reds would ultimately land the Egyptian from Roma for £34million.He said: "This is the situation, with that when you go for a winger you talk to seven or eight, and yes, we spoke to Julian Brandt but we spoke to Mo Salah, it’s not he [Brandt] didn’t want it so we took him [Salah], whatever people think I don’t care, but in the moment we were 100 per cent convinced he was the one."Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
