Liverpool Football Club has firmly rejected a staggering £150 million bid from Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad for their star player, Mohamed Salah. Reports of this audacious offer have sent shockwaves throughout the footballing world.
The Egyptian forward, who has become a legend at Anfield, is evidently not for sale, according to Liverpool’s esteemed manager, Jurgen Klopp. Klopp was unequivocal in his response, stating, “The position remains the same, absolutely. No doubt about that. We cannot (sell Salah). That’s how it is. Nothing else to say.”
Al Ittihad’s determination to acquire Salah is evident, as they are reportedly willing to offer him a jaw-dropping weekly wage of £1.5 million. However, it appears that Liverpool is resolute in retaining their prized asset, and Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas, has also firmly ruled out any possibility of a transfer.
The Premier League transfer window is set to close on Friday night, while the Saudi Pro League’s window is open until September 7. This unique situation leaves the door slightly ajar for Al Ittihad to potentially make another bid for Salah after the Premier League window shuts. Nonetheless, Liverpool’s stance remains unwavering, with the club expressing unwavering confidence that Salah will continue to don the famous red jersey.
Mohamed Salah has undeniably been a pivotal figure for Liverpool, amassing an impressive tally of 156 goals in 252 appearances for the club. His contributions were instrumental in Liverpool’s triumphant campaigns in both the Premier League and the Champions League in 2019, cementing his status as one of the world’s premier football talents.
