The future of Mohamed Salah looms over Liverpool’s training ground when Sky Sports arrives on Friday morning.
There has been no offer from Saudi Pro League club Al Ittihad but a flurry of reports on Thursday afternoon, saying they are willing to go «all out» to do a deal to sign the Anfield icon, has spread nerves among the Liverpool fanbase.
But boss Jurgen Klopp is keeping his composure.
«There's a lot going on around us but that's it,» he says as he sits down for an exclusive interview. «There's speculation and I think that's completely normal at this moment in time.»
Is Salah also keeping his cool?
Liverpool have a tough trip to Newcastle, live on Sky Sports on Sunday, and need their talisman to be sharp. A goal and assist in his first two games of this Premier League campaign suggest he's as hungry as ever; the fact he is now up to 200 goal involvements for the club a reminder of his importance.
But the vast sums Al Ittihad are reported to be prepared to pay could easily be a distraction.

«Mo is a super experienced player and 100 per cent committed to us here, to the club,» says Klopp adamantly, when asked about whether Salah's focus could be affected. «No, I don't worry about that to be honest.»
