Liverpool do not want to allow striker Mohamed Salah to join Egypt for the Tokyo Olympics, an event that starts on July 23 and ends on August 8, just a week before the start of the new Premier League season.

According to the president of the Egyptian Football Federation, Ahmed Megahed, the 28-year-old in the coming days will make one last attempt to convince the coach of “The Reds”, Jurgen Klopp.

“Salah had agreed to lead the Olympic team when we spoke to him during the last gathering of the national team,” Ahmed Megahed explained to the media of the country of the pharaohs. I do not want to say that it is impossible for Salah to participate in the Olympics, but it is still difficult to happen.”

Salah was one of the players with the most games in the ranks of “The Reds” last season. In the Premier League, out of 38 matches, he lost only one challenge, while in total, in the championship, he scored 22 goals.
