Jurgen Klopp Dismisses Salah To Saudi Arabia Move Speculation
- Liverpool Manager Dismisses Mohamed Salah To Saudi Arabia Transfer Speculation.
Jurgen Klopp has batted away claims that Mohamed Salah wants to leave Liverpool for Saudi Arabia.
Rumours emerged overnight that the Egyptian winger had agreed to a £191million move to Al-Ittihad, which would earn him over £3.5m-a-week as part of the Saudis’ mega spending spree.
However, Liverpool signed Salah up to a new contract to 2025 last year and have no intention of accepting any bids for their star forward.
Klopp told reporters ahead of facing Newcastle on Sunday that no such offer had landed at his desk and that the issue was a total non-starter.
“It’s difficult to talk about media stories, as there’s nothing to talk about from our point of view,” he told reporters.
“Mo is a Liverpool player, he’s essential. There’s nothing there. If there would be something, the answer would be no.
“Part of my life philosophy is to think about a problem when I have it, but there’s absolutely nothing at the moment.
“If something comes up, I don’t think or know about what, I’ll think about it. But if there was, it would be a no.”
