However, the African duo often faced accusations of not being closes, with Mane visibly frustrated whenever Salah did not set him up.
The Egyptian has revealed he did not have a great relationship with the Senegalese forward.
"Yes, there was tension with Sadio," Salah told France Football.
"Mind you, we were professional until the end, I don't think it affected the team.
"It's human to want more, I understand that, he's a competitor. Off the pitch, we weren't very close, but we always respected each other."
Salah also responded to claims he was selfish towards Mane.
"People can think what they want, it's their right," he said.
"But I invite everyone to note that the person who provided Mane with the most assists is me.
"We can look at the facts, but it's obviously easier to throw out phrases like that; it makes the headlines, I know how it works. As long as it remains within the limits of respect, that's fine with me. But that doesn't mean that this opinion is true. At the end of the day, I know what I did, and my conscience is clear."
