Mohamed Salah, the 32-year-old Egyptian striker whose contract with Liverpool expires next June, has been rumoured to be in the sights of Paris Saint-Germain. There has even been talk in recent days of an ongoing discussion and an interest in the Egyptian international. Speaking to Sky Sports, Paris president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi responded.
“He’s a fantastic and extraordinary player, but…”
“That’s not true. He’s a fantastic and extraordinary player, but we’ve never thought about him, to be honest. We know that every club would love to have him, but this rumour about us is simply not true.
Mercato?
If an opportunity arises, we’ll look at it, of course”, as relayed by Le Parisien.
We know that there are sometimes public lies surrounding the mercato, but at the moment it’s hard to believe that PSG could finally be speeding up for Salah. The rumour started off strong, then only calmed down. Here, in official words.
Maybe there will be a big surprise, but the wisest thing to do is to concentrate on other matters. This is undoubtedly what the Parisian management has in mind. Should Salah ever indicate that he will be leaving Liverpool, the Parisian club will no doubt be on the lookout for this exceptional player. And they wouldn’t be the only ones.
