The Egyptian superstar was strongly rumored to be moving to Al-Ittihad this summer, but Liverpool rejected a £150 million (plus add-ons) bid this month. On September 7, the Saudi transfer window closed, but Saudi clubs may still be able to sign him in January or the next summer.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Al-Hilal could potentially compete for Salah because Al-Ittihad may not end up being his preferred club. It suggests that there may be a transfer competition between several teams to sign one of the most recognizable players in the game.The SPL will blacklist a player if his agent raises his compensation by using interest from numerous teams, according to the New York Times (h/t SportBible). Mohamed Salah might run the possibility of being suspended by the league even though there is no evidence that it will happen if his agent tries to take advantage of the circumstance.
Additionally, the SPL must approve the transfer of a player whose annual salary exceeds £2.29 million. Salah could have made over £127 million a year if he had relocated to Saudi Arabia, claims TalkSPORT.Liverpool, though, held firm to their position and turned off proposals for their fifth-highest goalscorer in history. The 31-year-old became the Reds’ highest-paid player when he signed a three-year contract last summer.
