The Saudi Arabian side are willing to pay a fortune for the winger.

For weeks the media and social networks have been flooded with speculation about the future of Mohamed Salah. The forward was targeted by Al-Ittihad, who want to sign him to form an attacking partnership with Karim Benzema. That is why they offered almost $190 million to Liverpool to buy him last week. However, the English side turned it down.

 

With that scenario, the Reds played against Aston Villa at the weekend and won 3-0 with a goal from the Egyptian player, who showed that despite the rumors about his possible departure, he is committed to the team. In fact, after the match coach Jurgen Klopp denied that they had received bids for him: "Nobody came to me and told me something could happen or whatever. And Mo didn't look for a second like he thought about anything else other than about Aston Villa, being involved in all the goals."

However, that could change this week. According to the Daily Mail, representatives of Al-Ittihad arrived in England to try to reach a deal to sign Salah and are willing to pay him a salary of $125 million per year plus bonuses.

Reports indicate that the Pro League club could raise the offer to $250 million, a figure impossible for any club in the world to refuse. In fact, if the Egyptian winger is transferred for that amount of money, he would become the most expensive player of all time, surpassing Neymar Jr.

 

Not much time left

Initially the transfer window in Saudi Arabia was to run until September 20. But this changed and finally Pro League clubs will have time until Thursday, September 7 to sign new players. So Liverpool are now counting the days imploring Mohamed Salah to keep his commitment to the club and turn down the multi-million dollar offers from the Saudis.
