Liverpool hero John Barnes is hopeful of Mohamed Salah staying this season.

Al-Ittihad are launching a €100m bid for the Egyptian great.

But Barnes, speaking to Alqahera News, said: "The stars of world football are linked to the Saudi League, but I am sure that Mohamed Salah is happy with his presence in Liverpool.

“My message to Mohamed Salah is that he can achieve all his football ambitions with Liverpool and strengthen his legendary position here among the Reds fans and play in the Premier League"
