The Egypt international is however familiar with such speculation. Salah put pen-to-paper on an improved contract to quash his transfer rumours last summer.

Barely 12 months on the Egyptian’s transfer speculation is right back where we started. It is understood that Al-Ittihad are determined to make Salah their marquee summer signing.

It was reported that they even bid £150million for his services on deadline day last week. National Daily understands that the proposal was swiftly rejected. Meanwhile, the Saudi Pro League outfit are expected to return with a world-record bid before their transfer window closes on Thursday.

But while Liverpool have both publicly and privately maintained that Salah is not for sale, the Egyptian and his camp have not come out to scotch speculation as they did earlier in the summer.

Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas, rubbished claims that his client was planning to quit Anfield on social media last month, saying: “If we considered leaving LFC this year, we wouldn’t have renewed the contract last summer. Mohamed remains committed to LFC.”

Abbas has been noticeably silent since Al-Ittihad firmed up their interest by lodging a huge offer with Liverpool. Furthermore, The Athletic claim that the player’s camp are not ruling out his transfer.

The claim of Salah’s personal terms agreement with his mega-rich suitors has not been denied.  It is believed that Al-Ittihad reportedly ready to offer him a package worth £1.5m-a-week.

The silence from Salah’s camp, just weeks after Abbas was vocal, will only heighten the unrest at Liverpool. This is coming ahead of the Saudi transfer deadline on Thursday.
