Liverpool star Mohamed Salah hasn’t enjoyed a good start to this season.
The forward has four goals and three assists from 13 matches this season. Last weekend, he scored his first league goal in over a month in the Reds’ defeat to Brentford.
Salah’s performances for Liverpool have been questioned by some pundits and a section of the media. This has led to reports linking him with a move to Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

The Egyptian champions will have an election on October 31st. Yasseen Mansour, the vice-presidential candidate, is said to be leading negotiations to sign the Liverpool star.
Former Al-Ahly winger and director of football, Sayed Abdel Hafeez, is in contention to be part of the club’s new board. MBC Egypt got in touch with him for an update on the Salah links.
Sayed Abdel Hafeez wasted no time in dismissing the possible approach for Salah. He also made it clear no official has tried to take him away from Liverpool.
“Mohamed Salah is a very big star and has done things that are difficult for any player in the Arab world to do. He’s focusing on his professional career,” he said.
“Linking Salah to Al-Ahly is a media effort, and he’s a player who has honoured Egyptian football and all Arabs.
“Let’s talk realistically. Salah renewed his contract with Liverpool months ago. There is no official at Al-Ahly who talked about this matter. This matter was only circulated in the media. We will focus on the team’s priorities. I wish Salah success.”
