Liverpool fullback Andrew Robertson says the players are confident Mohamed Salah will stay.

Al-Ittihad are pushing to sign the Egyptian star this week.

"For us we block that [speculation] out, Mo blocks it out," Robertson said. "We let other people talk about that. Our squad is what it is and that's the squad that is going to go forward now with the window shut.

"It is about getting the most out of the squad, it is about looking forward to the season ahead and trying to do better than what we did last season.

“He's the ultimate professional. He does what it does, he is one of the best players in the world and he is professional. He lets other people do the talking, let's other people say what they have to say, but he's always been committed to Liverpool and you saw that with the performance he put in.

“For us there is no concern, For us Mohamed Salah is a Liverpool player and we believe that is what is going to be the case for the foreseeable future.

“The club position was that it knocked it back, it rejected the bid and that is what the stance was. For me Mo has been Mo all well. He's not been affected, I've been around him a lot and he's not been affected by anything.

"Mo has reacted in the best way possible and I think you have seen that with his performance, I think he was pretty special. Look there is speculation around a lot of players and it is how we deal with it and he's obviously done well."
