Paris Saint-Germain have βnever consideredβ a move for Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, according to president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
Salah is out of contract at the end of the season and has voiced his frustration at the fact a new deal has yet to be agreed.
That has put a host of clubs on alert with the Egypt star able to speak to non-English teams in January but Al-Khelaifi insists PSG, despite reports to the contrary, are not in the race.
Speaking in Budapest this morning, he said: βItβs not true. Heβs a fantastic and amazing player, but weβve never considered him, to be honest. We know every club would love to have him, but this rumour about us is simply not true.β

Al-Khelaifi backs Luis Enrique
PSG are top of Ligue 1 and on course for their fourth successive title, but all is not well at the Parc des Princes with reports the players are getting increasingly frustrated with coach Luis Enriqueβs methods.
Al-Khelaifi made clear, however, his satisfaction with the former Barcelona boss and insisted the clubβs long-term plan was on track.
He added: βThere are a lot of rumours about players, but we are very clear. We have one of the youngest teams in Europe, if not the youngest, with an average age of 22.5 years. Weβre building a team for the future with our amazing coach.
“We have a long-term plan with this team and coach. Our players are united, and itβs a fantastic group with a great atmosphere. In my opinion, we have the best coach in the world right now. Heβs building a project for the future. Results matter, but we remain focused on our project.
“There are always rumours in the mediaβthey want to sell newspapers. But I believe in our project, our system, our coach, and our plan. If thereβs an opportunity to sign players in January], we will of course explore.”
