• Liverpool have turned down a verbal offer worth £150m for Mohamed Salah
• The Reds remain determined to keep hold of their star man this summer
• Salah has emerged as a clear target for the Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad

Liverpool have made it clear that their star forward, Mohamed Salah, is not for sale after turning down a mega offer for the Egyptian forward from Saudi Arabia.

The 31-year-old forward, who recently extended his contract with the Reds, has emerged as a top transfer target for Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad, who made a verbal offer to Liverpool.

According to GOAL, the bid made for Salah by the Saudi club, which was worth £100 million plus another £50m in add-ons, was immediately rejected by Liverpool.

The Egyptian forward remains contracted to Liverpool until 2025 after signing a new three-year deal last summer as the Reds made it clear that they remain determined to keep him at Anfield.
