Liverpool Insist Mohamed Salah Is Not For Sale Amid Al Ittihad Interest

Liverpool have been quick to quash speculation that star forward Mohamed Salah is for sale, despite reports of interest from Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad. The Reds are adamant that the Egyptian will remain at Anfield and have not received any approach from the Pro League club.

Salah signed a contract extension last summer, making him the highest paid player in Liverpool’s history, and those terms run until 2025. His agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, also moved to shut down links with Saudi Arabian clubs earlier this month, stating that if they had considered leaving Liverpool this year, they would not have renewed the contract.

Salah has made a strong start to the season, netting his first goal of the campaign in Saturday’s 3-1 win over Bournemouth and producing a sublime assist for Luis Diaz in the 1-1 draw with Chelsea. He set up seven in five appearances during Liverpool’s pre-season friendlies, along with two goals of his own.

Rather than outgoings, Liverpool’s focus remains on potentially bolstering their squad before the transfer window shuts. On the possibility of further signings following Wataru Endo through the door, Jurgen Klopp last week said: “The window is open. And until then pretty much anything can happen. On outgoings, from my side, nothing will happen but I learned in this window a lot of things. Incoming, there is still time, so let’s have a look and that’s what we will do.”

Al Ittihad Offer Could Outstrip Cristiano Ronaldo’s Earnings

Reports suggest that Al Ittihad are preparing a mammoth offer for Salah, including a contract that would see his earnings outstrip those of Cristiano Ronaldo at Al Nassr. However, it appears that Liverpool are not entertaining any offers for their star man and are determined to keep him at Anfield for the foreseeable future.

Conclusion

Liverpool have made it clear that Mohamed Salah is not for sale and are not entertaining any offers from Al Ittihad or any other club. The Egyptian forward has signed a contract extension until 2025 and is the highest paid player in Liverpool’s history. Salah has made a strong start to the season and is continuing to prove his worth to the Reds. Liverpool’s focus now turns to potential incomings before the transfer window shuts, with Jurgen Klopp suggesting that anything can happen in the coming days.
