In a surprising turn of events, Al-Ittihad has reportedly put forward an eye-watering offer of approximately £118 million in a bold attempt to lure Mo Salah away from Liverpool, as revealed by Mail Sport.
The situation has sparked intense speculation about Salah’s future, but Liverpool remains unyielding in their determination to retain their prized asset throughout this summer transfer window.
Insiders suggest that Jurgen Klopp, the team’s manager, would be left fuming if Salah were to part ways with the Premier League club in the coming months.
Adding intrigue to the story, Saudi Arabian officials have embarked on a European journey, driven by the belief that Salah could be open to considering tempting offers from elsewhere.
Sources indicate that the Gulf state’s clubs consider Salah as their shining gem, an invaluable piece in the puzzle ahead of the Club World Cup scheduled to take place on Saudi Arabian soil this upcoming December.
This move is underpinned by the perception that Liverpool’s players, with their established “brand,” have the potential to serve as potent marketing vehicles. Among them, Mo Salah stands out as the most globally recognized Arab athlete, heightening his appeal to the Gulf state clubs.
As fans eagerly await further developments, the football world holds its breath to see whether Al-Ittihad’s staggering bid will have any impact on the future of this iconic football figure.
