Paris Saint-Germain have never considered signing Mohamed Salah, according to their president Nasser Al-Khelaifi.
Salah is entering the final months of his contract at Liverpool and is in line for an Anfield departure at the end of the season.
He recently revealed the Reds haven’t yet offered a new deal for him to stay and admitted that he’s ‘more out than in’.
A report from French outlet L’Equipe on Sunday claimed that Salah’s representatives have been speaking to PSG about a potential move.
However, Al-Khelaifi has ruled out the club’s chances of signing the winger, who can agree to a pre-contract with a foreign side from January.
“It’s not true,” he said via Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg.

“He’s a fantastic and amazing player, but we’ve never considered him, to be honest.
“We know every club would love to have him, but this rumour about us is simply not true.”
PSG signing Salah would be a marquee move as they lost their all-time record scorer Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid in the summer.
They’re on course for another Ligue 1 title this season although the Egyptian would likely be the final piece of the puzzle in their hopes of winning the Champions League.
Salah has been in scintillating form for Liverpool this season having scored 13 goals and assisted 11 others in 20 appearances.
He netted in a sixth consecutive Premier League match on Sunday when Arne Slot’s side beat Manchester City 2-0.

However, noise surrounding his uncertain future at the club looks set to continue whilst the prospect of a new contract remains stalled.
Liverpool rejected a whopping £150million bid for Salah from Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad last summer.
talkSPORT reported last month that fellow Saudi outfit Al Hilal are keen to sign the iconic Reds star before the FIFA Club World Cup.
Salah may not be the only notable Liverpool exit next summer as the futures of Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk are up in the air too.
Both players also see their contracts expire next summer, although Van Dijk has revealed that there are ‘ongoing discussions’ over a new deal.
