MOHAMED SALAH has informed Liverpool that he wants to leave the club after discussions with Jurgen Klopp, according to reports in Spain.
The Egyptian has become a hero at Anfield since arriving on Merseyside nearly two years ago.
But now according to Spanish outlet AS, he is determined to force his way out of the club this summer.
The reports claim that Salah has asked the Premier League leaders to sanction his sale at the end of the season.
It comes as a result of a series of heated discussions with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, the newspaper claim.
The Egyptian is even willing to hand in a transfer request to force through a move.
Salah penned a new bumper five-year contract with the Reds last summer on the back of a record-breaking season at the club.
On his way to winning the PFA Player of the Year he struck 32 times in the Premier League, the highest number of goals ever in a single campaign.
He also helped Liverpool reach the Champions League final in Kiev where he injured his shoulder in a tangle with Sergio Ramos.
Real Madrid will be only one of a few clubs around the world that will be able to afford his price tag, should he be allowed to leave Liverpool.
A big indication of whether these reports are true will be whether the forward starts for the Reds tonight in Porto.
Liverpool take a 2-0 advantage to the Estadio do Dragao as they bid to reach the semi-finals where they would meet Barcelona.
Salah has returned to form ahead of the run-in having struck two impressive goals in the Reds last two Premier League matches.
That included a 25-year stunner past Kepa Arrizabalaga during Sunday’s 2-0 win over former club Chelsea at Anfield.
He is now level with Sergio Aguero at the top of the Premier League scoring charts with 19.
Salah took the chance to explain his celebration which was a major talking point during the win that put them two points clear at the top of the table.
“I am a yoga man! I do yoga and it just came into my mind," Salah told Sky Sports.
“Normally I shoot with the inside of my foot. But this one I decided, because it was far, to hit it with power. I was lucky the ball hit the net like that."
Salah’s agent Ramy Abbas Issa didn’t take long to shut down the reports.
He tweeted: “Talking out of their AS again I see.”
Liverpool’s stance surrounding Salah is clear, they see him as one of their most prized assets and they want him to help them win trophies.
