Szoboszlai has given an insight into the Liverpool dressing room
Salah has been the subject of two offers from Al-Ittihad, worth £150million and £170m.
And that interest is showing no signs of abating with rumours that Al-Ittihad will return with another offer worth £200m.
Jurgen Klopp said after the game that he was confident that Salah will still be at the club come the end of the Saudi window.
Sky Sports asked Szoboszlai, who opened the scoring in Liverpool’s 3-0 win over Aston Villa whether the dressing room had been talking about Salah’s proposed move.
Szoboszlai said: “Everyone is talking about it and of course we are talking about it to each other. But he wants to stay and be here so we are happy. He is a great person and we need guys like that.”

To make Salah the face of the league, the Saudi league is eager to make a move for him.
According to reports, the state will pay the winger £2.4 million per week to play in the Saudi Pro League.
At Liverpool, he presently makes about £350,000 per week.
Jurgen Klopp has acknowledged that the Premier League is helpless to prevent its greatest players from leaving because of the mind-boggling figures on offer.
But now that the British transfer season has officially closed, Liverpool has set a boundary on Salah and is unable to sign a substitute.Speaking about the game, Szoboszlai said: “I am really happy to score my first goal and hope there will be even more to come.
“In the first home game [against Bournemouth] we did not start so well and also at Newcastle, we did not start so well. So after a team meeting, we were told to start well and finish with 11 men. So we scored a quick goal and that was good. Hopefully, everyone will stay healthy.
“As a midfielder, we need time. We do not know each other so when the games come we will be even better and better.”
