'I never had any doubt!' - Jurgen Klopp amazed by the 'fuss' over rumours of Mohamed Salah transfer to Al-Ittihad as Liverpool coach insists star will stay

The Egypt international continues to see questions asked of his future at Anfield as clubs in Saudi Arabia remain in a position to keep spending. Al-Ittihad are said to be keen on Salah, with talk of big-money offers and record-breaking contracts doing the rounds.

Liverpool have turned a deaf ear to the gossip, with there no need for them to consider parting with a player that is tied to terms through to 2025. Klopp has batted away all questions on the subject and remains adamant that a key part of his plans will be hanging around on Merseyside.

Klopp told Sky Sports when quizzed on the subject of Salah’s future once again: “I never had any doubt about his commitment to this club. You can’t imagine how much fuss the world has made but how calm we are with it. He is our player and wants to play here.”

Salah scored his 188th goal for Liverpool in their 3-0 win over Aston Villa, doubling his tally for the season, and could make even more history on Merseyside before the day comes for him to bid farewell.
