Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp has, on Sunday, spoken out once more over the future of star attacker Mohamed Salah.
The name of wide-man Salah has of course taken its place front and centre in the English media headlines across the week to date.
This comes after a series of shock reports were forthcoming, pointing towards the Egyptian inching towards a move to Saudi Arabia.
Amid claims that Salah has had his head turned by the staggering money on offer in the Middle East, several outlets went as far as to suggest that an agreement with Al-Ittihad was on the verge of being reached.

Klopp, however, remained adamant that his Egyptian dynamo will be going absolutely nowhere over the final days of the transfer window.
“The Mo Salah to Al-Ittihad story hasn’t quite gone away, has it?” the German was asked.
“For me, it has!” Klopp responded.
