Speaking to Egyptian broadcaster MBC (via Modern Ghana), Salah said:

“My relationship with Sadio [Mane]? We are teammates on the pitch and in the locker room, and it’s a professional relationship. He and I give everything we have for the team to win. We may have a competition for who is better, but this is normal in any team and a legitimate right for any player, but in the end, we serve the team."

Mohamed Salah has also clarified that he does not get jealous if any of his Liverpool teammates score a goal. The winger stated that there is no bad relationship between him and Mane as both provide assists for one another.

“Sometimes I act selfishly on the field, but no one puts his interest above the interest of the team, and it is not intentional," he said.
