He has proven incorrect in the past, though.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, he wrongly claimed that Kylian Mbappe would leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer, with the forward now set to stay, and also that Jude Bellingham was keen to return to England after leaving Borussia Dortmund. Instead, he joined Real Madrid.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to the latest twist in the Salah saga, one Liverpool supporter highlighted Fjortoft missing the mark with his report on Bellingham, saying: &#8216;This was an hour before Liverpool formally pulled out of the race for Bellingham. I think we&#8217;re okay.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, it is understood that Al-Ittihad are refusing to give up on their chase of the mercurial frontman and are prepared to break the bank to sign him.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/30\/10\/74865685-12460601-image-a-29_1693386386838.jpg\" height=\"419\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/30\/10\/74865683-12460601-image-m-30_1693386389870.jpg\" height=\"543\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>They are currently determining the figures ahead of formalising a staggering proposal that they hope will tempt Liverpool into reluctantly selling Salah.<\/p>\n<p>Klopp is vehement that Salah will not leave, particularly as the club have little time to find an adequate replacement with the Premier League window closing on Friday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;There is nothing to talk about, we don&#8217;t have an offer,&#8217; Klopp said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Mo is a Liverpool player and essential for everything we do.
