Liverpool and manager Jurgen Klopp have both been adamant that Salah is not for sale in this window, while the player's agent took to Twitter earlier this month to reiterate his client's commitment to the Reds.
Speaking ahead of Liverpool's Premier League clash against Aston Villa on Sunday, Klopp reiterated the club's stance: "The position remains the same, absolutely. That's how it is. Nothing else to say."
Salah signed a new contract at Anfield last summer, committing him to the club until the summer of 2025. According to reports, the deal made him the highest-paid player in Liverpool history.
Al Ittihad, as per CBS Sports, are prepared to make Salah an offer that would make him one of the highest-paid players in world football.
