PSG break silence on Mo Salah transfer rumours as Liverpool star's future takes fresh twist
Paris Saint Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has broken the club's silence on the links with Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah.
In recent weeks, Salah has been outspoken about his ongoing contract negotiations with Liverpool, ahead of his current deal expiring in the summer.
With discussions over an extension stalling, the winger has reportedly attracted interest from some of the biggest clubs in the world, including Paris Saint-Germain.
But now, the French champions have finally spoken out to address the rumours regarding a move for Salah.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Paris Saint Germain president Nasser Al-Khelaifi praised the Egyptian forward, but confirmed that the rumours linking him to the Ligue 1 club were false.
He said: “It’s not true. He’s a fantastic and amazing player, but we’ve never considered him, to be honest. We know every club would love to have him, but this rumour about us is simply not true.”
Just yesterday, French outlets began reporting that Salah had started talks with PSG over a free transfer in the summer when his contract ended.
The reports claimed that the 32-year-old was open to the move and that there was a "good chance" that he would be playing at the Parc des Princes next season.
PSG are reportedly keen to sign another attacking winger and are said to have considered moves for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Jadon Sancho and Nico Williams in the summer.
But the PSG chief also revealed that the club might look into options in January if they believe there are deals available.
“If there’s an opportunity, we will of course explore," Al-Khelaifi added.
However, for now, it appears that Salah will most likely not be making the move to PSG, leaving the question over his future unanswered.
Speaking after the Premier League win over Manchester City, the winger suggested that it may have been his last game against Liverpool's long-term rivals.
When asked about Salah's comments Slot replied: "Maybe Mo knows more about the 115 inquisitions so he expects them not to be in the Premier League next season!
"This is not the place for me to talk about Mo's contract and maybe I've said already too with the joke I've just made. That will probably get the headlines, but it was a joke."
