DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI has given an insight into how the Liverpool team are dealing with Mohamed Salah’s rumoured move to Saudi Arabia.
Al-Ittihad are determined to sign the Liverpool forward, with the Saudi transfer window not shutting until Thursday.
Salah has been the subject of two offers from Al-Ittihad, worth £150million and £170m.
And that interest is showing no signs of abating with rumours that Al-Ittihad will return with another offer worth £200m.
Jurgen Klopp said after the game that he was confident that Salah will still be at the club come the end of the Saudi window.
Sky Sports asked Szoboszlai, who opened the scoring in Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Aston Villa whether the dressing room had been talking about Salah’s proposed move.

Szoboszlai said: “Everyone is talking about it and of course we are talking about it to each other. But he wants to stay and be here so we are happy. He is a great person and we need guys like that.”
The Saudi league are desperate to make a move for Salah as they look to make him the face of the league.
The state will reportedly offer the winger £2.4m-a-week to join the Saudi Pro League.
He currently earns around £350,000-a-week at Liverpool.

The staggering numbers on offer has led Jurgen Klopp to admit the Premier League is powerless to stop its best players from leaving.
But Liverpool have drawn a line in the sand on Salah, with the club unable to bring in a replacement for him now the British transfer window has slammed shut.
Speaking about the game, Szoboszlai said: “I am really happy to score my first goal and hope there will be even more to come.
“In the first home game [against Bournemouth] we did not start so well and also at Newcastle, we did not start so well. So after a team meeting, we were told to start well and finish with 11 men. So we scored a quick goal and that was good. Hopefully, everyone will stay healthy.
“As a midfielder, we need time. We do not know each other so when the games come we will be even better and better.”
