He said, "As one of my 'guys', I would never put any pressure on him (Salah), I didn't even talk to him during that period.
"I don't manage any of the (Saudi) clubs, but if the clubs decide they are interested, he is a top player. The same with Kevin de Bruyne.
"But Mo Salah is the one who decides. The player ultimately decides: 'I'm ready to go' or 'I'm not ready to go'."
