Mohamed Salah agent hits out at "fake news" linking midfielder to Liverpool

The agent of Mohamed Salah has denied suggestions that the Roma midfielder is close to completing a move to Liverpool.

Reports in the Italian media on Friday claimed that Salah, who has two years left to run on his current deal, had agreed a £90,000-a-week switch to Anfield.

It was implied that the 24-year-old and his agent Ramy Abbas Issa would travel to Britain over the weekend to finalise terms, but this has been denied by Issa who took to Twitter to hit out at the "fake news".
