If Mohamed Salah leaves the team, Liverpool is allegedly interested in signing an Everton target to replace him.
Al Ittihad of the Saudi Professional League were widely believed to be highly interested in recruiting Salah from Liverpool last week.
Even though Jurgen Klopp has denied the rumors, there have been fresh reports claiming that Al Ittihad is gaining more and more confident in landing Salah and is planning a proposal of £118 million.
Before the FIFA Club World Cup takes place on their home land in December, it has been reported that clubs in the Gulf state view Salah as their crown gem.
In an effort to entice more talents to the Middle East, Saad al Lazeez, the chief executive of the Saudi Professional League, is said to have traveled to France and will remain there for the remainder of the European transfer window.
Furthermore, if the club permits Salah to depart, Klopp allegedly would be incensed.
Liverpool has been linked with a number of attackers who can be brought in as a replacement since the news of Salah’s alleged connection to Saudi Arabia broke.
Johan Bakayoko of PSV Eindhoven, who is rumored to be an Everton target, is the player who Liverpool are aiming to sign.
The 20-year-old is expected to be among the most sought-after players in the closing days of the transfer market, according to the report.
Klopp, the Reds’ manager, claimed last week that there was nothing to discuss regarding Salah’s future.
“Since there is nothing to discuss from our point of view, it is impossible to talk about media articles. Mo Salah plays for Liverpool. Nothing is present. If something existed, the response would be “no” (he is not for sale).
