Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp says the result of Saturday's Champions League final will have no impact on Mohamed Salah or Sadio Mane's contract plans.
Both players will enter the final 12 months of their Anfield deals in June and while Liverpool are hopeful of retaining the pair beyond, there has been little in the way of anything public from either players' camp or the club at this stage.
"Will the result impact contract talks? No, not at all," said the Liverpool boss ahead of their clash with Real Madrid. "If we win it, will they want to go? We are in talks with all the players. It is just not the moment to talk about everything.
"Has reaching the final interrupted talks? No, that would mean we would have to have negative talks, no. There is just not the time, we play every three days.
"The players have this idea, we have this idea, sometimes they match, sometimes we have to work together, but we have known each other for ages."
