To the persistent speculation regarding Mo Salah’s future, Jurgen Klopp has spoken forcefully, while Dominik Szoboszlai has reaffirmed his devotion.
Liverpool turned rejected an unofficial £150 million offer from Al-Ittihad this week, but rumors have persisted.
Instead, the English media’s coverage of a fresh offer from the Saudi Pro League dominated the lead-up to Sunday’s 3-0 victory over Aston Villa.
Salah started the game at Anfield and scored the third goal, embracing Klopp after the game’s conclusion as the team maintained their stance.
Salah is not for sale, Liverpool has maintained, and the player has made it plain he wants to stay, according to both the manager and his new No. 8.
He excelled in his game. Mo had to work extremely hard, and he did, according to Klopp, who spoke to Sky Sports following the game.
“I never questioned his future or his dedication to this club, and I don’t do so now.
“Truly, you have no idea how much a fuss the entire world creates and how relaxed we are about it. It is the way it is.
He wants to play here and is one of our players. I’m done now.
“Truly, you have no idea how much a fuss the entire world creates and how relaxed we are about it. It is the way it is.
He wants to play here and is one of our players. There you go.
The question of whether Liverpool’s stance hasn’t changed was directly posed to Klopp during the post-game press conference, given that the Saudi Arabian transfer window is still open through Thursday.
He just said, “Yes,” without any hesitation.
Szoboszlai, who scored the game’s first goal against Villa in spectacular fashion, also revealed to AFP that Salah had told his teammates he “wants to stay.”
All the talk is about football. We are overjoyed that he decided to stay, the midfielder stated.
He wants to stay, he wants to be here, and he wants to be with us, but we are obviously talking amongst ourselves.
“We are very content. He is the kind of teammate we need.
