Mo Salah displays IMPRESSIVE skills during Pepsi shoot
The title-chasing Reds announced record annual pre-tax profits of £125million during the week.
It came as reports surfaced that Juventus are ready to offer Argentine striker Paulo Dybala plus £44m to take Salah back to Serie A.
But Liverpool will battle any bids for the ex-Roma star.
The Egyptian King has openly described Anfield as his “home” and it’s no surprise he feels settled considering he is worshipped by Kopites.
If Liverpool fall short this season in their pursuit of a first Premier League title or the Champions League, there’s no doubt that Jurgen Klopp will have to answer questions.
Liverpool are no longer a selling club. After posting profits of £125m they can resist any offers.
A financial source told Express Sport
Are the club worried about losing their best players?
The answer is simple. The answer is no.
Liverpoolare no longer a selling club and Klopp has made Anfield a final destination as opposed to a stepping stone.
Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino have all put pen to paper on new long-term contracts that will see them stay at the club until 2023.
Those qualms will be eased after a football finance source told Express Sport: “Liverpool are no longer a selling club. After posting profits of £125m they can resist any offers.”

Those words will be music to the ears of supporters, allowing them to sit back and enjoy the best Liverpool side they have seen for decades.
Before, there would have been shades of doubt.
Raheem Sterling joined Manchester City for £49m, Luis Suarez moved to Barcelona for £64.98m and Coutinho followed him to Catalonia in January 2018.
But this time the club are adamant their stars are here to stay.
Off the field, there are the figures to suggest that Liverpool are now with significant power.

The road to the Kiev for last season’s Champions League final, qualification for this year’s competition as well as the £142m sale of Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona help Liverpool overturn a staggering £125m profit.
That eclipses the £92.5m made by Leicester in 2016/17 after their 5000/1 Premier League miracle.
That figure after tax was £106m, with a further £190m reinvested into Klopp’s ranks including agents fees.
The result of that has been an increased wage bill of £263m while the club have also had the chance to look towards the future; their brand new £50m training centre is taking shape in Kirby.

Turnover from the year ending May 31 2018 saw an increase of £90m to £455m, media revenue was up to £220m.
On the commercial side, revenue was up by £17m to £154m, the club’s debt now stands at just £56m and the Reds will continue to repay £10m in capital over the year to Fenway Sports Group for the £100m they borrowed for the main stand.
Michael Edwards deserves the plaudits too, for he has turned water into wine.
From June 1 2016 to May 31 2018, buying Mane, Virgil van Dijk, Andrew Robertson, Georginio Wijnaldum, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was funded by the sales of Coutinho, Mamadou Sakho, Christian Benteke, Jordan Ibe, Andre Wisdom, Joe Allen, Kevin Stewart, Lucas Leiva and Tiago Ilori.
