Liverpool transfer news: Billionaire owner FINALLY addresses Mo Salah deal

The clock is ticking for Mohamed Salah to strike a new agreement with Liverpool.

He's got just one year left on his current deal and it is moot whether he will extend his stay beyond the end of the season.

All the indication seems to be pointing towards Salah having a huge desire to stay at Anfield.

However, there appears to be an impasse between the negotiating parties and it remains to be seen whether the Reds can make a breakthrough.

Undoubtedly, there will be plenty of interested parties from outside of Liverpool who will also be keeping a close eye on the negotiations.

PSG owners address Mo Salah Liverpool talks

Over the last few years, Mohamed Salah has been heavily linked with a move to Paris Saint Germain, even as recently as last week there were talks that he could join the French side upon the expiry of his deal at Liverpool.

However, it seems that those reports might not have had much weight.

PSG's billionaire owner has now finally spoken out about the club's potential move for Salah and while it does not look good for the Egyptian it bodes well for Liverpool.

PSG President and QSi (owners of PSG with a net worth thought to be around $338 billion according to GOAL) chairman Al-Khelaifi spoke to Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany and addressed rumours about a potential move for Salah.

“It’s not true. He’s a fantastic and amazing player, but we’ve never considered him, to be honest," he said.

"We know every club would love to have him, but this rumour about us is simply not true.”

What does this mean for Salah?

Salah seems very keen to stay at Liverpool judging by his recent actions and he has made it clear he wants to play at the highest level for as long as possible.

That rules out a move to Saudi Arabia. With a move to PSG now also seemingly off the table, it doesn't leave Salah with a lot of options left if he were to leave the club.

This only gives Liverpool more leverage and confidence that they can tie the Egyptian down to a new deal.

FSG will undoubtedly be delighted by the statement made by Al-Khelaifi.
