Jurgen Klopp has insisted Liverpool have received no offers for Mohamed Salah amid reports of strong interest from Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n
But the Reds boss has admitted it’s ‘not cool’ the Saudi transfer window extends beyond the Premier League’s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It emerged in the Spanish media on Thursday that Saudi club Al-Ittihad want to make the Egyptian forward the highest-paid player in the Saudi Pro League and therefore world football.<\/p>\n
Relevo also claimed that Salah, 31, wants to leave Anfield and his entourage have met with Al-Ittihad officials in Dubai.<\/p>\n
Liverpool denied that star man Salah is for sale and Klopp reiterated this in his Friday press conference ahead of Sunday’s Premier League trip to Newcastle United.<\/p>\n

Jurgen Klopp has insisted Liverpool haven’t received any bids for star player Mohamed Salah<\/p>\n

Salah is reportedly being targeted by Al-Ittihad with the Saudi side convinced the player wants to join them<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Reports suggest that Al-Ittihad have already met with the player’s entourage in Dubai to discuss a move<\/p>\n

‘It’s difficult to talk about media stories as there’s nothing to talk about from our point of view,’ Klopp said. ‘Mo Salah is a Liverpool player.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘There’s nothing there. If there was something, the answer would be no [he’s not for sale].<\/p>\n
‘My life philosophy is I think about a problem when I have it. At the moment, there’s nothing.<\/p>\n
‘I said already if there is something, the answer would be no.’<\/p>\n
Asked if Salah was still committed to the Liverpool cause, Klopp replied: ‘100 per cent.’<\/p>\n
While the summer transfer window in the Premier League and most of Europe will close on September 1, the one for the Saudi Pro League remains open until September 20.<\/p>\n
It means Saudi’s cash-rich clubs can potentially poach Premier League players after the deadline.<\/p>\n
On Saudi spending, Klopp added: ‘It’s not cool for us, that’s clear. If we want a player from Wigan, say, we go there and we pay the price. Same in the Bundesliga etc.<\/p>\n

The Saudi side are managed by former Wolves and Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo<\/p>\n
‘Now there’s a next level and it’s not great, but this is part of the business. I’m not sure you can change that.<\/p>\n
‘What makes it impossible to deal with is our transfer window closes and they stay open. Then we play until January 1 and this is our squad, we have that problem.<\/p>\n
‘I remember something like this in Russia a long time ago. That was not completely crazy money.<\/p>\n
‘It’s new and challenging. I am pretty sure FIFA could [change the Saudi deadline] but I am not sure they want to.’<\/p>\n
