The Reds have made a good start to the Premier League and recently registered a comeback victory over Newcastle United. Salah was heavily involved in the game but recent reports suggested Al-Ittihad are adamant to land the player. Felix had a successful stint with Chelsea last season and he might return to the English top flight if Liverpool successfully pursues his service. Although Klopp denied any possibility of Salah leaving the Anfield there might be some serious pressure from the Saudi Arabian side.

"Mo Salah is a Liverpool player and essential for everything we do. If there would be something, the answer would be no. My life philosophy is I think about a problem when I have it, and there is absolutely nothing at the moment."
