Jurgen Klopp has surely not been quiet during these last few days. The Liverpool coach assured in a press conference last week that Mohamed Salah is "100% committed" to the team. However, rumors about his possible departure to Al-Ittihad are getting stronger and the English side could lose their biggest star.

 

The Egyptian winger received (or will receive, according to reports) an impressive offer from Saudi Arabia: a salary of almost $130 million per season, a private jet, unlimited plane tickets for this family, the chance to be an ambassador for tourism in Saudi Arabia and shares in the club. All this combined would make him the highest paid player on the planet, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr.

A few days ago The Sun reported that Salah had told Liverpool chiefs that his intention is to accept the offer and leave England, in a transfer that would earn the Reds $100 million. And now this information has been confirmed by Jan Åge Fjørtoft. The former Norwegian player and current media commentator said that it is likely that Salah will complete a transfer this week.

If the news is confirmed, Liverpool will have just two days to find a suitable replacement. The main target is Joao Felix, who is not taken into account by coach Diego Simeone at Atlético Madrid. His value would not be a problem for the English side, as Los Colchoneros are asking $75 million for him. Other alternatives for whom they have started talks are Ansu Fati and Abde, both forwards from Barcelona.

 

Jurgen Klopp saw it coming

The Liverpool manager spoke several weeks ago about the risk posed to teams in Europe by offers from Pro League clubs: “Saudi Arabia also doesn't make it easy. Our window shuts next month but other windows stay open. The endless money causes a problem, that's how it is. What can we do now? It would be cool if someone could find a solution or regulations, I don't know.”
