Liverpool are attempting to hold on to Mohamed Salah despite interest in the Egyptian star from the Saudi Pro League, where the transfer window is open for another week
Jurgen Klopp insists nothing has changed when it comes to Al-Ittihad’s interest in Mohamed Salah, but has expressed wider concerns about the impact being made by the Saudi Pro League.
The reigning Saudi champions have been exploring the possibility of a £150m move for the Egypt forward, who finished last season as Liverpool’s top scorer. Salah’s agent Ramy Abbas Issa said earlier in the window that his client wouldn’t be moving, but late efforts could still be made by Nuno Espirito Santo’s team.
Salah is under contract at Liverpool until 2025, but the Reds have already seen three stars move to Saudi Arabia this summer. The Saudi transfer window runs for overseas transfers until September 7, meaning deals could yet go through without European teams having time to replace their stars.
“The position remains the same absolutely,” Klopp told reporters ahead of Liverpool’s Premier League game against Aston Villa. “That’s how it is. Nothing else to say. No offer as far as I know.”
