Although he admits Mohamed Salah will eventually join him in Saudi Arabia, Robbie Fowler feels Mohamed Salah should remain at Liverpool.
On the night of the transfer deadline, Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad made a £150 million offer for the Reds star. The verbal offer was swiftly rejected by chiefs at Anfield since Jurgen Klopp’s team has consistently taken a hard line on the 31-year-old.
For the German, Salah has been one of the key players on Merseyside. The attacker is the last survivor of the formidable trio, which also included Sadio Mane, who propelled the Reds to success in Europe and the United Kingdom after his summer departure to the kingdom.
The second-to-last year of L4 will be spent attempting to get Liverpool back into the Champions League because he still has two years left on his contract. Last season, the Reds were obliged to settle for Europa League qualification, which prompted the Egypt star to apologize to Liverpool supporters.
Saudi sides have until September 7 to officially register their new additions, despite the fact that the transfer market for the Premier League and the rest of Europe closed at the beginning of September. This means that discussion about Liverpool’s fifth-highest goalscorer in history will continue for another week.
Fowler is of the opinion that Ittihad’s interest won’t change over the next several days, and Salah will eventually return to the area. And the former Reds striker has issued a warning that a sizable sum may be proposed this week.
“The amount of money Liverpool has already declined is absolutely astounding. But honestly, before the end of this week, I wouldn’t be shocked if that number doubled, he said in his Mirror column.
