Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has rejected the chance of representing Egypt at the forthcoming Olympic Games in Paris.

Recall that Salah was expected to join up with his Egypt teammates for the Paris games in August. But it appears all that will not come to reality again.

In a chat with TribalFootball, Egypt Olympic boss Rugero Micali stated that he was unable to convince him to come into the squad.

“We have 10 names under consideration, and we will choose three players from them.

“We’re still awaiting the outcome of communication with Salah and his club Liverpool through the Egyptian Football Association. We definitely want him with us. I wish Salah could play with us at the Olympics.

“It’s always good for a player to be involved, but we don’t interfere in players’ clubs about whether or not they’re in the squad.”
