Jurgen Klopp reacts angrily to question about Saudi Pro League interest in Mohamed Salah
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp did not take kindly to being asked about the future of Mohamed Salah after he was courted by Saudi Pro League champions Al Ittihad this summer.
90min reported at the start of September that Al Ittihad were prepared to pay a world-record sum in order to land the forward, while they also believed Salah was open to the sudden move.
However, Liverpool maintained throughout the brief saga that Salah was not for sale and refused to sanction a deal prior to the Saudi Pro League's transfer deadline last week.
Salah will now stay at Liverpool for at least the next few months, but speculation regarding his future is refusing to die down.

At a press conference ahead of Saturday's trip to Wolves in the Premier League, Klopp was asked about clubs from the Saudi Pro League coming back in for Salah later this season.
"You are kidding me, yeah? You can't wait until December to ask this question?" Klopp replied.
"I'm not worried about [it] and wasn't until you opened the wound again. I'm not worried."
Salah has made a fine start to the 2023/24 season, scoring in each of Liverpool's four Games so far.
He began the campaign with an assist for Luis Diaz in Liverpool's 1-1 draw at Chelsea, before putting the Reds ahead with a rebound from a missed penalty in their 3-1 win at home to Bournemouth.
Salah followed that with the last-gasp match-winning assist for Darwin Nunez in their 2-1 victory at Newcastle United. He then scored the final goal of Liverpool's 3-0 triumph against Aston Villa.
