Bayern Munich transfer news: Bavarian CEO compares Salah to Messi 

Mo Salah transfer talks linking him with Bayern rifled up after the Bavarian CEO's comments. Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently described Salah as the "Lionel Messi of Africa", drawing comparisons with the Barcelona legend. Interestingly, Barcelona have been linked with the Liverpool sensation, apart from the Egyptian's timely link-ups with Real Madrid. 

As quoted by The Sun, Rummenigge insisted it would be an honour to have Salah at the Allianz Arena. "Salah is the Messi of Africa and has the skills to play for the best teams in the world. What he has achieved can be compared to what Messi and (Cristiano) Ronaldo did with Barca and Real (Madrid)," he said.

Mo Salah transfer away from Liverpool? Egyptian keen on Anfield stay 

However, Rummenigge's recent comments haven't gone down well with the defending Premier League champions. The Reds have rubbished the transfer talks linking Mo Salah to Bayern. Jurgen Klopp is delighted with the Egyptian forward and will not be keen on trading on the player. 

The 28-year-old, who earns £200,000-a-week, sees off his Liverpool contract in June 2023. And he isn't keen on seeking an exit anytime soon despite the fact that he had expressed his desire of playing in Spain in an interview a couple of months ago. In another interview, the former Roma superstar confirmed his stay with Liverpool, insisting he wishes to continue at Anfield for his entire career but the matter rests with the club ultimately.
