Salah was sensationally touted as the latest star targeted by Saudi supremos with reports suggesting Al-Ittihad are keeping tabs.

The same sources claimed the Saudi Pro League champions are willing to splash £60million and pay the winger a whopping £155m in wages over a two-year deal.

However, the Egypt international’s agent Ramy Abbas Issa has poured cold water on those rumours.

The 31-year-old’s rep insists they would have never agreed to sign a new deal with Liverpool last year if they knew they wanted to leave this summer.

Issa tweeted: “If we considered leaving LFC this year, we wouldn’t have renewed the contract last summer.

“Mohamed remains committed to LFC.”

Salah penned a bumper new £400,000-a-week contract with the Reds until 2025 last year.

The Merseysiders have already lost two key players to Saudi Arabia with Jordan Henderson reuniting with Steven Gerrard at Al-Ettifaq and Fabinho joining the Egyptian’s bidders.

Al-Ittihad have also landed Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante and Jota this summer.
