With Saudi Arabia set to reignite their longstanding interest in Egypt superstar Mohamed Salah in January, Liverpool have reportedly made a decision on whether or not to sell the attacker.

In January, Salah will be away with the Pharaohs for the Africa Cup of Nations, and while the Reds will have to deal with their busy schedule without their talisman, they will also have to cope with Saudi Arabia's insistence on signing the attacker.
During the previous transfer window, Saudi Pro League champions Al Ittihad tried to sign to sign the two-time CAF Men's Player of the Year for a rumoured £150 million (R3.4 billion), and even considered making a world-record £225 million (R5.1 billion) bid in the final days of the window to secure his services.
This interest is expected to be renewed come 2024 as the Gulf league looks to add the three-time Premier League Golden Boot winner to their legion of superstar players, but according to Football Insider, that will not happen in January.
The publication reports that Liverpool will reject any and all advances for Salah as they look to keep hold of their club icon for the rest of the campaign.
The former AS Roma and Fiorentina man continues to play at a world-class level, having already scored 10 goals in 14 appearances in all competitions this season, and the Merseyside outfit is expected to retain his services until at least June 2024.

Salah is currently the highest-paid player in Liverpool's history, earning a reported £350 000 (R7.9 million) a week, and is contracted to the Anfield club until 2025, so it is unlikely the Reds will feel pressured to sell, with the same report claiming that even if Salah pushes for a move, the club will not sell him in January.
