Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has reiterated that no bid has been made for the Egypt international, despite reports that he is sought in Saudi Arabia.
Klopp was asked about the Salah rumours ahead of Liverpool’s next Premier League match against Newcastle. Salah has been linked with a transfer to Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad, who are reported to be prepared to pay the attacker a deal worth more than Cristiano Ronaldo’s current salary at Al-Nassr. Klopp, on the other hand, has stated that no offer has been made and that the Reds are keen to preserve their star.Klopp was asked about the Salah rumours ahead of Liverpool’s next Premier League match against Newcastle. Salah has been linked with a transfer to Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad, who are reported to be prepared to pay the attacker a deal worth more than Cristiano Ronaldo’s current salary at Al-Nassr. Klopp, on the other hand, has stated that no offer has been made and that the Reds are keen to preserve their star.
“There is nothing to talk about from our point of view. We don’t have an offer, Mo Salah is a Liverpool player. There is nothing there, if there would be, the answer would be no,” he told reporters. Klopp then insisted that the forward is “100%” committed to the Reds despite the speculation over his future.
This is not the first time this summer that Salah has attracted interest from Saudi Arabia. The Egyptian’s agent, Ramy Abbas, has also played down talk of a move. He tweeted at the start of the month: “If we considered leaving Liverpool this year, we wouldn’t have renewed the contract at the club last summer. Mohamed remains committed to Liverpool.”
