Saudi Arabia is not done. When you look at their work in the transfer market, you would feel like they have done enough. But, no. They are still on the hunt to get the best talents to the Middle East. Now, their attention turns to Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian beast of Liverpool.
If rumors were to be believed, then they tried to sign him early in the window but he said no. Now, they are coming back all guns blazing. Their latest offer, according to rumors, is mind-boggling. Mohamed Salah is being offered a Beckham-like contract by Al-Ittihad.
According to SunSport, Al-Ittihad has made Mohamed Salah a tempting deal. It will be similar to David Beckham’s deal to LA Galaxy all those years back. The idea is to lure him to Saudi Arabia with all these perks.
The extremely wealthy team is eager to sign the Liverpool striker because they want him to take Karim Benzema’s and Cristiano Ronaldo’s places as the Saudi Pro League’s face.
Al-Ittihad, who are led by Nuno Espirito Santo, a former manager of Spurs and Wolves, have made Liverpool an offer of £150 million for the superstar.
Mohamed Salah’s perks
Mohamed Salah will get a near-£100 million base salary and a private jet or unrestricted air travel for his family. Also, he will get an offer to serve as an ambassador for tourism and investment in Saudi Arabia. This will increase the player’s compensation, a five-year deal is on the table.
The overall value of the deal would surpass Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr pay of £173 million. The concept resembles the one that attracted David Beckham to Major League Soccer in 2007. The England legend’s transfer from Real Madrid to LA Galaxy included a provision allowing him to later launch his own Major League Soccer side.
Since then, he has seized the chance and established Inter Miami. In their brief history have generated news all over the world by signing Lionel Messi in the summer. Mohamed Salah is wanted by Al-Ittihad desperately, and they will make every effort to sign him before the Saudi Pro League’s transfer window closes on September 20.

Due to his enormous influence and status as a Middle Eastern football icon, the Egyptian striker is regarded as a more significant asset for the nation than any of the recent additions.
Liverpool not interested in selling Salah
For Saudi, Mohamed Salah would make a terrific “diplomatic” contribution to Saudi Arabia’s effort to become the dominant force in the region. He is also viewed as the long-term face of the league.
Ronaldo, 38, and Benzema, 35, who moved over the summer on a £3.3 million a week contract, are anticipated to retire in two years. Whereas Salah, 31 years old, can have a longer-term impact. Liverpool reportedly does not want to sell Salah.
The Egyptian international became Liverpool’s highest-paid player with an estimated weekly salary of £400,000 after signing a new three-year contract there only last summer. It is said that the 187-goal forward for the Reds will have to force Jurgen Klopp to let him go.
