Egypt winger Mohamed Salah is unlikely to leave Liverpool in the January transfer window.

The attacker has been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League, who are offering him world record sums to accept.

However, the transfer chief of the Pro League believes that a winter swoop for Salah is very unlikely.

"Mo Salah, like [Lionel] Messi, [Karim] Benzema, [Cristiano] Ronaldo and the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, these are players that when there is a sense of availability for them, we are willing to listen," the league's director of football Michael Emenalo told Sky Sports News.

"But we also understand that Mo is happy where he is at present and in a historic, wonderful club at Liverpool. We respect that very much and we don't want to come across as putting any pressure on him.

"But if there is any interest to do something, Mo Salah is a player that you want in your league, in any league. We respect Liverpool and in this scenario, the initiative to do anything won't come from us. There has to be an aligned interest from all parties involved.

"It's a very personal thing, as a player that I recruited [for Chelsea ] and I like. There's nothing I'm saying that is new or ground-breaking. If Mo Salah is available, has an interest to come and everything is aligned, I would be incredibly delighted."
