Mohamed Salah: Al-Ittihad, a Saudi Arabian club, is prepared to test Liverpool’s determination regarding Mohamed Salah. They are putting together an eye-watering bid of almost £118 million for their star player. Even though the club insists that he won’t be leaving. Liverpool is adamant that their star player is not for sale under any circumstances. But if reports are to be believed then, Mohamed Salah is intrigued by the offer made. Manager Jurgen Klopp would be enraged if Salah were to leave the team this summer.

Mohamed Salah to Al-Ittihad
The Reds are mindful that any Mohamed Salah departure may jeopardize Klopp’s entire Liverpool operation as well as their season. However, Saudi officials have visited Europe and have heard that the player is eager to consider offers. Ahead of the Club World Cup on home soil in December, clubs in the Gulf state consider Salah as their crowning achievement.
Saad al-Lazeez, the chief executive of the Saudi Pro League, arrived in France on Tuesday and will remain there for the duration of the European transfer window in an effort to entice more talents to their expanding league.
Mohamed Salah is the guy that Saudi clubs see as their largest investment to date following an exorbitant summer buying spree. Due to Liverpool’s “brand,” they view its players as massive marketing tools, and Salah is the most well-known Arab athlete in the world.
Ramy Abbas, Mohamed Salah’s agent, officially said earlier this month that he would not be leaving Liverpool this summer. It was done in an effort to calm the club’s supporters. Saudi businessmen who believe they have been encouraged to submit a formal offer of about $150 million haven’t been discouraged by this.
It continues a pattern of Saudi teams swooping for Liverpool’s finest players. They lured Roberto Firmino, Fabinho, and former captain Jordan Henderson to the Gulf state. They are interested in Joe Gomez and Ibou Konate and also coveted Alisson earlier in the summer.
In addition to luring previous Ballon d’Or winners Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante to the club, along with former Wolves and Tottenham manager Nuno Espirito Santo, Al-Ittihad, the team that wants Salah, has also recruited Fabinho from Anfield this summer.
Jurgen Klopp not too keen on letting Mo Salah leave
On Wednesday, Mohamed Salah was seen smiling and appearing at ease as he trained. Any attempts would be vehemently rejected by Liverpool. Klopp now occupies a more crucial position than ever in the organization’s transfer policy.
Mohamed Salah has drawn Al-Ittihad’s attention all summer long, but it has intensified during the past week. There is a suspicion that Liverpool might have been more receptive to proposals if they had received a proposal four weeks earlier.

When asked about a bid for Mohamed Salah last Friday, Klopp responded that there was nothing to report or discuss because no formal approach had been made. However, the Saudis are now prepared to formally pursue the Egyptian.
A week after the English transfer window ends on September 7, the Saudi Arabian one is still open. Salah, who is 31 and makes almost £350,000 per week at Liverpool, could be sold in the summer. Though Al-Ittihad faces an uphill struggle in the coming days, they believe they have been given enough encouragement to make a formal offer and are now willing to test the resolve of Liverpool chiefs.
