Mohamed Salah transfer hint as Jurgen Klopp 'afraid' of new attacking

Mohamed Salah was the subject of a verbal £150m from Al-Ittihad in the summer, with interest from the Saudi Pro League expected to rear its head again next year.

The Egyptian will have just a year left on his current contract at the end of the season

Boasting 10 goals and four goals from 14 appearances so far this season, it goes without saying that Salah is in exceptional form at the moment. And his manager inevitably wants to retain the forward’s services.

“Did it give him a boost or whatever?” Klopp joked at the mention of Al-Ittihad’s bid.

"An offer came in, you said? And then what happened?” “It was rejected for football reasons.”

“Oh, yeah? I don’t know anything about an offer or whatever,”

"But it is not important. Mo is here, Mo never came to me and wanted to go.

“I didn’t think a second about it to be honest. Should we or not? Yes, he is here. He feels extremely well, you can see he is enjoying the team a lot.

“He played for the last 105 minutes. The last game he played as a nine. He is in a good shape. On the pitch, goalscoring wise everyone can see that. Off the pitch, even better shape, I would say.

“He is really positive. He enjoys the company of the boys and sees there is a lot of potential with the boys and wants to maximise that by getting something out of that.

“The other stuff I never thought about that, and hope I don’t have to.”
