Manager Juergen Klopp, today, said Mohamed Salah is not for sale and Liverpool have not received any offer from Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad.
British media reported yesterday that Al-Ittihad were making a renewed push to sign the Egypt international, but Klopp said there would be no deal.
Salah has scored 187 goals in 307 appearances since joining Liverpool in 2017, helping the club win the Premier League and Champions League. The German also said that 31-year-old Salah, who signed a three-year extension to his contract last year, is 100% committed to Liverpool.
Liverpool went down to 10 men in their 3-1 win over Bournemouth on Saturday with the sending-off of Alexis Mac Allister. His red card has since been rescinded after an appeal. The manager said it was a massive relief.

Mac Allister is now available for the game at Newcastle where Klopp will face Eddie Howe.
Howe took over at Newcastle in 2021 and took the club to a fourth place finish last season and Champions League qualification. Klopp described him as a super coach.
Klopp said right back Trent Alexander-Arnold is fit after leaving the field with a knock against Bournemouth last weekend, while midfielders Thiago Alcantara and Curtis Jones will be ready from Monday.
Centre back Ibrahima Konate is struggling with a muscle injury, and he is a doubt for the Newcastle game.
