He also told Sky Sports after the game that he never had, and doesn’t have now, doubts about Salah’s future or commitment to the club.
“Believe me, you cannot imagine how much fuss the whole world makes and how calm we are with it. It’s how it is. He’s our player, he wants to play here. That’s it.”
Dominik Szoboszlai, who opened the scoring against Villa in stunning fashion, also weighed in on the matter. He told AFP that Salah had informed team-mates he “wants to stay”.
“It is football, everyone is talking. We are really happy that he has stayed,” Szoboszlai said. “We are of course speaking between each other but he wants to stay, he wants to be here and be with us. We are really happy. We need people in the team like him.”
