Reports indicate that Liverpool do not intend to transfer Mohamed Salah in the upcoming summer, despite his recent clash with Jurgen Klopp.
The dispute occurred just before Salah was set to come on as a substitute late in the game during Liverpool’s 2-2 stalemate with West Ham on Saturday. This draw has significantly diminished their chances of clinching the Premier League title.

The Egypt international then went on to spark more speculation about his relationship with Klopp by telling reporters at the London Stadium after the incident: ‘There’s going to be fire today if I speak.’
Klopp, who announced in January that he is leaving Liverpool at the end of the campaign, played down the row after Liverpool’s draw.
‘We spoke already in the dressing room and for me it’s done for me,’ said the Liverpool head coach. ‘That’s all and that is it.’
Last summer, Salah was the subject of significant interest from the Saudi Pro League, with Al-Ittihad reportedly proposing a deal worth over £150 million for two seasons to the Liverpool star.
The Saudi Pro League is expected to pursue Salah once more this summer. However, The Athletic suggests that Liverpool anticipates the 31-year-old will continue at Anfield.
Furthermore, the report mentions that Salah has not shown any desire to depart from Liverpool in the upcoming summer.
With only one year left on his contract after this summer, Liverpool faces a narrowing window—just two transfer periods—to potentially profit from the forward’s transfer.
In the meantime, Gary Neville has cautioned that the tension between Klopp and Salah could present ongoing challenges for Liverpool for the rest of the season.
‘Mo Salah’s just hit a brick wall. You’ve got be careful, there was a player out here [in the north London derby] called Son that I think hit a brick wall probably about 18 months ago, where he looked like he was gone and he was struggling,’ Neville said on Sky Sports’ The Gary Neville Podcast.
‘These players play so much football they play so consistently and Salah has been almost ever present for like six or seven years. There just comes a point whereby you need a break.
‘Unpleasant when you see [a row] an amazing manager and an amazing player.
‘I had that at Manchester United a few times. There’s only one winner, but the problem is that the manager is leaving which helps Mo Salah a little bit.
‘I think there might be a bit of a problem if it were to carry on for the rest of the season. Two massive personalities and characters.’
