Liverpool have categorically dismissed a Spanish newspaper report claiming that Mohamed Salah is unhappy at Anfield and wants to leave, while Salah's agent has also mocked the publication responsible.
AS claimed on Wednesday that the Egyptian star had fallen out with Jurgen Klopp and wanted to hand in a transfer request at Anfield, where he is in his second season with the Reds.
The report added that Liverpool had turned down the request, but an unhappy Salah was still determined to depart Merseyside.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, AS also claimed that Real Madrid would be willing to make a move for last season's PFA Player of the Year and Premier League Golden Boot winner this summer if his desire to leave got any stronger.
But Salah's agent Ramy Abbas Issa responded to the story on Twitter , writing: "Talking out of their AS again I see."
