After Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Newcastle United, when asked about Mohamed Salah’s future, Jurgen Klopp allayed concerns that he would be moving from Liverpool to Saudi Arabia.
As part of their ongoing effort to sign the biggest names in football, Al-Ittihad, the current Saudi Pro League champions, has made Salah one of their top targets in recent weeks.
The German coach ended his interview with Sky Sports by saying, “For me, it has,” in response to the statement that this transfer rumor hasn’t “gone away.”Al-Ittihad is contemplating a proposal totaling £128 million, according to a CBS story published today.
The fact that the Saudi Arabian transfer window shuts on September 20 allows clubs in this level to continue signing players after the English transfer deadline of September 1 is past is one worry Klopp will have on this topic.
At a recent press conference, the Liverpool manager addressed the subject and said, “I understand that it is not cool for us, that is how it is. When I visit Wigan to request a player, they give us the cost, which we almost certainly pay. If Bayern arrives in the Bundesliga, Dortmund or Mainz cannot respond. However, the next level is not very good.
