Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah is now expected to remain at the club this summer following Arne Slot’s appointment.
The Egyptian, who attracted serious interest from Saudi Arabia in 2023, has a year to run on his contract.
The 31-year-old, who turns 32 later this month, was the subject of bids over £100m last summer.
But Liverpool made it clear that they would not listen to offers for the former Roma playmaker.
Salah’s numbers remained strong last season, but his performances took a noticeable dip.
The Egyptian also had a public spat with Jurgen Klopp after he was dropped for a trip to West Ham, and was seen arguing with the German before he took to the field at the London Stadium.
But, while a large offer for Salah would be tempting for Liverpool to accept for a player with 12 months left on his deal, the club expect to keep the Egyptian.
The club are keen on signing another wide player, while centre-back is another priority position with Joel Matip set to leave.
Further additions could depend on the role that Slot selects for Trent Alexander-Arnold.
The England ace was used as a right-back by Klopp, but could be pushed into midfield by Slot.
In that scenario, the club will look to sign a new first choice right-back.
