Liverpool will tremble until the end for Mohamed Salah. The Pharaoh is not indifferent to the interest of Al-Ittihad.
Jürgen Klopp is not at ease. This summer, the German has already lost several important players such as Roberto Firmino (end of contract), Jordan Henderson, and Fabinho.
They have all joined Saudi Arabia. And it’s no secret that Al-Ittihad hopes to dislodge Mohamed Salah before the end of the summer transfer window. But the Liverpool coach is closing the door for his star despite a total offer of 300 million euros (transfer fee and player’s salary).
Last week, he even said in a press conference: “We have no offer, Mo Salah is a Liverpool player and for everything we do, that’s essential. If there was something, the answer would be NO. Mo is 100% committed to Liverpool. Nothing more to say.” Despite this strong statement, this saga is far from over. It is likely to continue to stir up the English club until the end of the transfer window.
A new proposal is coming
This Thursday, the Daily Mail explains that Al-Ittihad, which is also interested in Joe Gomez, is not giving up on the Egyptian player. Karim Benzema’s club is ready to test Liverpool. They are even convinced that they can break Liverpool before the end of the transfer window.
This is for a specific reason. The Saudi officials are convinced that Mo Salah wants to join them. They have been in Europe in recent days and have received feedback that the player is willing to discuss with them and leave the English club.
Convincing Salah should not be a problem. However, Liverpool will be harder to persuade. The Daily Mail explains that Al-Ittihad wants to offer nearly 137.5 million euros to the Merseyside club.
Moreover, everything is planned if Liverpool eventually gives in, as the CEO of the Saudi Pro League, Saad al-Lazeez, has settled in Cannes to finalize the last deals of the transfer window in Europe. But nothing is certain since the Mail assures that Klopp will be furious if Salah leaves. To be continued…
