Last summer, Al-Ittihad targeted Egyptian international Mohamed Salah. He presented a huge offer to Liverpool, which was immediately rejected.
Nevertheless, they have continued to follow Egyptian King’s movements and are expected to present an offer this summer.
However, it is also reported that Liverpool and their new manager do not want the player to leave and will hold talks to renew his contract at the end of the season.
Even if he fails to sign a new contract, he will not be allowed to leave in the summer and will flow out of the team when his contract expires in June 2025.
With the possibility of a trip to Saudi Arabia dwindling, Al-Ittihad have their eyes on a new target. According to Rudy Galetti (Italian journalist), Tottenham Hotspur ace and South Korean international Son Heung-min is an alternative candidate and could be contacted.
“Al-Ittihad have identified Son as a possible reinforcement to strengthen their attack.”
“Salah remains the main target, but considering that things are going at a slow pace for him, the Tottenham player is emerging as an important new alternative.”
