Mohamed Salah wants to stay at Liverpool, according to new Reds midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai, with manager Jurgen Klopp adding that he is delighted the Egyptian is ‘part of my team’.<\/p>\n
Liverpool’s star man Salah has been part of a transfer saga with Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad, who on Thursday saw an eye-watering \u00a3150million bid rejected for the 31-year-old. The big spenders then warned they were willing to break the world transfer record and bid \u00a3200m.<\/p>\n
But Klopp and the club have long insisted Salah is not for sale – and both Szoboszlai and Klopp moved to allay fears after beating Aston Villa 3-0 at Anfield.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘He wants to stay here,’ said Szoboszlai, who scored Liverpool’s first before an own goal and a Salah strike.<\/p>\n
‘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.’<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
‘Mo doesn’t have to come into my office and tell me, ‘By the way, boss… (I’m not going)’.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
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.’<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Liverpool have already seen a number of players leave for Saudi Arabia with Jordan Henderson giving up the club captaincy to join Steven Gerrard at Al-Ettifaq, while Fabinho and Roberto Firmino also secured exits.<\/p>\n
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson and centre back Ibrahima Konate were also the subject of interest but wanted to continue at the Premier League giants.<\/p>\n
