Gray signs a £10 million contract to leave Everton and join the Steven Gerrard-coached Saudi Pro League team.
But rather than just applauding the upcoming agreement, Al Ettifaq seems to criticize Liverpool and Klopp for their refusal to approve the sale of Salah to Saudi Arabia.
Earlier in the summer transfer season, when the Egyptian King was being courted by Al Ettifaq, Gerrard was questioned about the possibility. He batted down the rumors, but rivals Al Ittihad were unsuccessful in their attempt to sign the player.
An ‘Ettifaq transfer game’ is played in a video that was broadcast on their official Twitter account to promote the Gray transaction.
Liverpool attempts to recruit Mohamed Salah after being chosen from the Premier League division, but Klopp responds with a stern “No!” and an angry-looking expression.
The focus then shifts to Aston Villa striker Philippe Coutinho, who is still wanted and whose Brazilian passport has an arrival stamp indicating a potential transfer abroad.
The words “Gray to Al Shabab” can then be seen with the face of transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, followed by the phrases “Demarai Gray to Al Ettifaq, here we go,” with the phrase “signed successfully” appearing in green.
The 27-year-old, who hasn’t featured for Everton this season, leaves a few days after appearing to criticize boss Sean Dyche in an Instagram statement.
Gray added, “The Everton supporters have been wonderful to me, but it’s so hard to play for someone who doesn’t respect you as a person.
