Liverpool are still hopeful of reaching an agreement with Roma for Mohamad Salah but the Italian club is determined to hold on for more than £35 million.

The Merseyside club is ready to break its current transfer record to land the winger and the Italian club’s Sporting Director Monchi has confirmed the bid from Merseyside.

He also admitted a sale is possible, although the most recent talks stalled over the price for the 24-year-old.

Liverpool continue to seek a conclusion as manager Jurgen Klopp hopes to add new faces prior to his players’ return to pre-season training in early July. A first offer of £28 million was rejected.

“For Salah there is an offer from an English club but the price will be set by Roma, not the buyers," said Monchi.

“As I've said before, Roma is not a supermarket. Roma is a team that will represent Italy in Europe.
