Liverpool management are confident keeping hold of Mohamed Salah amid fresh transfer talk.

The Mirror says the title-chasing Reds announced annual record pre-tax profits of £125million during the week as reports surfaced in Italy that Juventus are ready to offer Argentine striker Paulo Dybala and £44m to take Salah to Serie A.

But Liverpool will resist any bids for their Egyptian talisman – and this time they can back up that resolve with the muscle that comes with making huge profits.

The Merseysiders felt compelled to cash in on Suarez in 2014 when Barcelona agreed to pay £65m.

A source connected to football finance said: “Liverpool are no longer a selling club.

“Despite what they have said in the past, when other big European clubs have come in with big money offers they have been forced to sell.

“That is no longer the case. Any club that posts profits of £125m can resist any offers for their top players."
