Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian international who signed a new contract with Liverpool last summer until 2025, is the highest paid player at the club. Although his decision-making rate in front of goal seems to have dropped, he continues to increase his assists and is turning from finisher to chance-maker.
Still, he remains the ace of the team. However, the Saudis’ tentacles are reaching out to the Egyptian King as well, with reports circulating that Al-Ittihad, which acquired Brazilian midfielder Fabinho from Liverpool this summer, is increasing its interest.
According to Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool has no intention of negotiating with the Middle Eastern club and has maintained a no-sale stance. However, he suggests that there is a possibility, and that is only if an offer with an astronomical figure is received and the player forces a move.
Liverpool have been clear with Mo Salah and Al Ittihad: no intention to negotiate, he’s considered not for sale 🚨🔴 #LFC

Al Ittihad astronomical contract bid to Salah remains valid to tempt Mo; but only way would be for Salah to force the move.

We do not want our ace to be snatched away from us at this time. Even if the price is fearless, we hope that Liverpool will take a firm stand and withdraw their interest.
On the other hand, we cannot rule out the possibility that he will volunteer to move to Saudi Arabia next year, and we must look for a left-handed winger who can succeed the Egyptian winger and score goals as well.
In a transfer market where anything can happen until the end of the season, we will keep an eye on not only Mohamed Salah, but also other star players going to the Middle East…
