Al-Ittihad have their sights set on making a high-profile signing of Liverpool talisman Mohamed Salah, but Jurgen Klopp insists his club have no intention of selling before the transfer deadline.
The Saudi Arabian club has already made some big moves this season, signing defensive midfielder Fabinho and persuading stars like Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante to join their project.
Salah's acquisition would be the biggest acquisition in the league's history, even more impressive than the free transfer of Cristiano Ronaldo from Manchester United earlier this year.
Two weeks ago, Salah's agent denied any rumors of his client considering leaving Liverpool, but Al-Ittihad's tireless pursuit has prompted the 31-year-old to listen to their offer. When asked about the speculation regarding Salah's future, Klopp stated: "It's a bit difficult to talk about media stories because there is nothing to talk about. We don't have an offer, he's a Liverpool player. He's essential to all the things we do, he was and will be. If there was something, the answer would be no."
Klopp further clarified that Salah remains fully committed to Liverpool, saying: "100%."
It remains to be seen if Al-Ittihad will make a strong enough offer that could sway Liverpool from their stance. Until then, the Reds will hold on to their star winger and continue to build their team around him.
