Paris Saint-Germain’s president, Nasser Al Khelaifi, has clarified that the club has not engaged in discussions to sign Liverpool’s star forward, Mo Salah. Despite expressing admiration for Salah’s achievements in the Premier League, Al Khelaifi emphasised that the Egyptian international remains under contract with Liverpool, according to a statement made to @JacobsBen.
Admiration for Salah’s Achievements
Al Khelaifi acknowledged Salah’s impressive contributions to football, particularly highlighting his pride in Salah’s success as a player from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. He expressed respect for both Salah and Liverpool, reinforcing that no talks have occurred between PSG and the player.
Recent Context and Speculation
This statement follows recent speculation about Salah’s future, with previous reports suggesting potential interest from PSG. However, Al Khelaifi’s comments align with earlier denials of any pursuit of the Liverpool forward. Salah, known for his speed, technical skill, and goal-scoring ability, continues to be a key figure at Anfield, where he has been since joining from AS Roma in 2017.
