The sound of silence? Mo Salah posts cryptic social media picture with no caption as Al-Ittihad try and lure the Liverpool star to Saudi Arabia with audacious £200m bid

As rumors concerning his future at Liverpool circulate, Mohamed Salah has gone to social media, but the Egyptian remained silent.

The fact that the Saudi Pro League transfer market doesn’t close until Thursday gives Al-Ittihad the advantage as they race to complete an outrageous £200 million swoop for the forward.

In a mysterious move, Salah didn’t add a comment to the snapshot he shared on Sunday of himself celebrating his goal in Liverpool’s 3-0 Premier League victory over Aston Villa.

Salah’s teammates at Anfield insisted after the game that he was devoted to Liverpool, but Al-Ittihad may put even more pressure on the squad to keep him.

The Saudi club has already signed Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, and Liverpool’s Fabinho this summer despite the Reds’ previous rejection of a £150 million deal last week.

Following an assist from Dominik Szoboszlai and an own goal from Matty Cash, Salah scored Liverpool’s third goal of the game as they cruised past Villa.

 

The Scot responded, “For us, Mo blocks that out.” We left it up to others to discuss.

 

“There is no worry for us.” Mohamed Salah is a player for Liverpool in our eyes, and we think that will remain the case for the foreseeable future.

 

Our team is what it is, and that team will move ahead now that the window is closed. The goal is to maximize the potential of the group, look forward to the upcoming season, and strive to improve upon our performance from the previous one.

 

He is the epitome of a professional. He is a professional, one of the top players in the world, and he does what needs to be done. He lets others speak for him and listens to what they have to say, but he has always been loyal to Liverpool, as evidenced by this performance.

 

“I’ve spent a lot of time around him, and he hasn’t been affected by anything,” I said. Mo has responded in the best way possible, and I believe you can see by watching him perform; I thought he was really good.

 

Salah would still be a Liverpool player at the end of the week, according to Szoboszlai.

‘He wants to stay here,’ said Szoboszlai. ‘He wants to be here, he wants to stay with us. At the end, he stayed and that’s great news. He’s a top player.’

Klopp bizarrely denied that Salah had told the squad he wanted to stay, but the manager added: ‘No. He didn’t tell me, but he didn’t have to. He speaks with his training and performances and behaviour. He is completely here and if Dom said that, fine.

‘Mo doesn’t have to come into my office and tell me, ‘By the way, boss… (I’m not going)’.’

The Saudi window is open until Thursday and Al Ittihad were expected to further test Liverpool’s resolve but asked if the club’s position stays the same, Klopp simply said: ‘Yup.’

Salah, who scored 30 goals in all competitions for Liverpool last season, is part of the club’s leadership group and signed a new three-year contract last summer, which made him the highest-paid player in Liverpool history.
