According to a media report, Saudi Arabia’s soccer champion Al-Ittihad is preparing another offer for Egyptian striker Mohamed Salah.
According to a media report, Saudi Arabia’s football champion Al-Ittihad is preparing another offer for the Egyptian star striker Mohammed Salah before.
According to the British “inews”, it is said to be an offer to Liverpool FC of 250 million pounds, the equivalent of around 291 million euros. According to the tabloid The Sun, the club is offering £215m, the equivalent of around €250m.
In both cases, the record sum of 222 million euros that Paris Saint-Germain paid to FC Barcelona for Neymar in the summer of 2017 would be significantly exceeded.
Based in Liverpool since 2017
According to “Sun”, a delegation from Saudi Arabia is said to have already made its way to England. “inews” reported that sources at least assume that Salah wants to listen to the offer. His contract with the Reds is still valid for almost two years, he has been playing in Liverpool since the summer of 2017.
According to media reports, Liverpool FC rejected an offer of £150 million (around EUR 175 million) just last Friday. The Reds had given the club a definitive rejection, it said. The striker is not for sale. Previously, coach Jürgen Klopp had once again ruled out a change from Salah in a press conference. “Our attitude remains the same,” said Klopp. “There’s absolutely no doubt about that.”
The 31-year-old attacker is considered one of the most important performers at Anfield. He signed a new three-year contract last year. At the beginning of August, Salah’s agent Ramy Abbas Issa stressed that his client had no intention of leaving the club. The exchange period in Saudi Arabia ends this Thursday at 11:59 p.m.
