Jordan Henderson recently joined Al-Ettifaq while Roberto Firmino signed a deal with Al Ahli, however, Gerrard insists they will not be making a move for Salah.
"No! No, no – the answer is no, because Mohamed Salah is my favourite player, I love Liverpool Football Club, so Mohamed can stay where he is," Gerrad said in an interview with Gerrard stated in an interview with Sada Al Mala'eb:
"When he wins more leagues and more Champions Leagues with Liverpool, we'll maybe consider it."
Gerrard also thanked board for bringing in a player of Henderson's character.
"I must say, everyone who's involved in the board, obviously big respect to the minister, to the league for the support, for help in bringing Jordan Henderson here," he added.
"He's looking forward to the challenge. He's still got many good years in his legs. We were looking for someone who can be a coach on the football pitch, someone who can lead, someone with a voice, someone who creates real, high-class, elite standards. We want the young players to learn and grow off Jordan."
