Liverpool chiefs have informed Mohamed Salah they won't meet his contract demands.
Salah is about to enter the final year of his contract and the Mirror says he is seeking £400,000-a-week to re-sign.
However, Liverpool management insist they do not have a sovereign wealth fund to bankroll them and cannot afford to meet the demands of Salah.
Salah's agent Ramy Abbas insists his client should receive a new deal that reflects his status as one of the world's best players.
Like Sadio Mane, who is now leaving for Bayern Munich, he also wants around £400,000-a-week, which his camp say is the going rate for a player of his ability.
But Reds management insist their budget cannot stretch to such terms.
