Mo Salah has rejected the chance to move away from Anfield this summer.
That is according to The Mirror who report that both Real Madrid and Juventus were willing to submit £150 million bids for the Egyptian forward, who has scored 71 goals in 104 games since his move to Merseyside. However, Salah has left the door open for a future move by indicating that he will review his situation next summer.
The 26 year old is reported to be tempted by a return to Italy, having previously played for Roma, and also the chance to join the new Real Madrid team that Zinedine Zidane, in his second term as manager, is now shaping.
However, he has shelved these possibilities for now, feeling that now is the wrong time to leave Liverpool, given that the club has just won the Champions League.
That will delight Liverpool fans and manager Jurgen Klopp as they prepare to try and break their 30-year Premier League title hoodoo.
