The Egyptian is a reported target for Al-Ittihad, who were apparently willing to pay Liverpool £52m and give the forward a contract worth £77m a year.
Al-Ittihad have already signed Salah’s Liverpool teammate Fabinho while captain Jordan Henderson has moved to Al-Ettifaq.
But Ramy Abbas, Salah’s representative, has confirmed that the 31-year-old is happy to remain at Anfield.
“If we considered leaving LFC this year, we wouldn’t have renewed the contract last summer,” he tweeted. “Mohamed remains committed to LFC.”
Salah signed a three-year deal last summer, making him the best-paid player in Liverpool’s history. He scored 30 goals last season, taking his tally to 186 in six years on Merseyside.
Liverpool, meanwhile, are trying to strengthen their midfield ahead of the start of the season after losing Henderson and Fabinho. They have made two bids for Southampton’s Romeo Lavia but are also considering other options.
