Liverpool defender Andy Robertson has 'no concern' over Mohamed Salah's future at the club.

Salah has been linked with a move to Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad, after they made a £150 million offer last week.

Liverpool rejected the offer and made it clear that the forward is not for sale, but that has not deterred the Saudi club.

Al-Ittihad, who have already brought in Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante and former Red, Fabinho, are reportedly willing to break the bank for the Egyptian.

That being said, Robertson seems confident that Salah will remain at Anfield going forward.

"For us, we block that out, Mo blocks it out," Robertson said, via Sky Sports. "We let other people talk about that. For us, there is no concern.

"Mohamed Salah is a Liverpool player and we believe that is what is going to be the case for the foreseeable future.

"He's the ultimate professional. He lets other people do the talking, lets 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 [against Aston Villa].

"The club's position was that it knocked it back, it rejected the bid and that is what the stance was."

Liverpool legend on Salah's future

"There's still a week left in the Saudi transfer window, and I can tell you Salah will be ending up here," Robbie Fowler, who is now based in Saudi Arabia, wrote in his personal Daily Mirror column.

"Maybe not in this window, but sometime soon, because of who he is, and just how many people here want it to happen so desperately. There's no doubt he's by far the most famous footballer in this part of the world and, as I said last week, they want him to be the face of the Saudi Pro League."

Fowler scored 183 goals in 369 games for Liverpool across two spells, between 1992 and 2007, putting him seventh on the club's all-time scoring charts. Salah is fifth, with 187 strikes from 307 games and counting.

Salah's former Liverpool teammates Fabinho and Jordan Henderson have already made the move to the Saudi Pro League, while Henderson has been joined by former Reds favourite Gini Wijnaldum at Steven Gerrard's Al-Ettifaq.
