Szoboszlai has come out and said, &#8220;we think he&#8217;s staying. We hope he&#8217;s staying.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Mo Salah can just (say he&#8217;s staying). And the question is, why hasn&#8217;t he done that?<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;He could make life easy for everybody.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Ladyman &#8211; who wrote on the topic for his Mail Sport column last week\u00a0&#8211; agreed with Sutton&#8217;s take on the issue as he said: &#8216;I couldn&#8217;t have put that better myself. I&#8217;m thinking maybe you (Chris) should come and sit on my side of the table&#8217;, before he added: &#8216;I think he&#8217;s staying for what it&#8217;s worth.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the aforementioned comments from Jurgen Klopp and Dominik Szoboszlai, Reds defender Andy Robertson also insisted that Salah is committed to the club despite the strong interest from Saudi Arabia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>He said: &#8216;For us we block that out, Mo blocks it out. We let other people talk about that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&#8216;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.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Our squad is what it is and that&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He&#8217;s the ultimate professional. He does what it does, he is one of the best players in the world and he is professional.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Robertson continued: &#8216;He lets other people do the talking, lets other people say what they have to say, but he&#8217;s always been committed to Liverpool and you saw that with this performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018He&#8217;s not been affected. I&#8217;ve been around him a lot and he&#8217;s not been affected by anything.
