Despite the continuous rumors about his future, Mohamed Salah has been “super committed” to Liverpool this week, according to Jurgen Klopp.
For the past month, Salah has been a target for Saudi Pro League team Al-Ittihad, who on Thursday night submitted an official offer for up to £150 million in an effort to get the 31-year-old.
Liverpool turned down the offer after standing firm in their unwillingness to sell, and they see the problem as resolved—at least for this summer. However, Al-Ittihad are anticipated to make more attempts to entice the Reds into selling given that the Saudi Arabia transfer market is still open as of September 7.
The AXA Training Center was visited by Salah, who has contributed a goal and an assist in Liverpool’s opening three games.
After a lengthy search, Ryan Gravenberch’s transfer to Liverpool has been completed.
Klopp added on Friday: “From my point of view, I see absolutely nothing (to worry about)” in reference to the Egyptian’s circumstance. Mo is really dedicated, genuinely present in the leadership meetings this week, and totally engaged in the training.
“I have to deal with facts, and my fact is ‘all good, we are here, and everything is fine’.”
Salah is one of eight Liverpool players linked to Saudi Arabian interest after the league received a financial boost from Newcastle United’s principal owner Public Investment Fund.
Al-Ittihad reportedly pursued Joe Gomez and Ibrahima Konate in addition to already signing Fabinho for £40 million.
“I don’t have anything to say about it. Nothing has changed; we still sit here and carry on as before. We were aware of the pricing disparities, but this is not exclusive to Saudi Arabia; other clubs also have high payment requirements. Suddenly, people start saying things like, “Wow, that’s the new price tag, that’s interesting.” That is typical.
We didn’t really feel the influence until Fab and Hendo left, even though it was obvious that it had an impact on us. I firmly believe that we accepted that as acceptable and thought it was doable.
