The sale of Mohamed Salah to Al-Ittihad before the transfer deadline would put Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp in a “nightmare” situation, but talkSPORT reporter Alex Crook has updated GIVEMESPORT on the probability of a last-minute agreement being reached.
The Reds are looking to add another high-priced player, despite the fact that the Saudi Pro League team raided them earlier in the summer. Last month, Fabinho agreed to a £40 million transfer.
CBS Sports reports that Al-Ittihad plans to put Liverpool to the test by making a proposal for Salah that is close to £129 million.
According to the rumor, the Saudi Pro League is eager to set a record for the most costly signing by making the Egypt international, who has scored 187 goals in his tenure with the Reds, their top target for the remainder of the summer transfer window.
Despite Liverpool’s efforts to deter interest, transfer insider Dean Jones recently told GIVEMESPORT that a move to Al-Ittihad cannot be ruled out.
Salah’s Merseyside club have insisted that he is not for sale, and Ramy Abbas, Salah’s agent, has ruled out the chance of his client accepting a new challenge before the deadline.
There has been uncertainty regarding the winger’s long-term future as he has entered the final two years of his £350,000 per week deal.
By joining Al-Ittihad, who are prepared to offer him a salary deal of up to £1.5 million per week, Salah would become one of the highest-paid players in the world.
