Saudi club Al Ittihad could finalize the transfer of Mohamed Salah before the end of the summer transfer window on August 31st, 2023, which closes its doors at midnight.
According to former Norwegian international and sports expert Jan Aage Fjørtoft, Salah is “likely” to move from the Premier League to the Saudi Pro League in the coming days. “I’ve heard that it’s likely Salah will leave Liverpool this week,” he tweeted on X (formerly Twitter).
Ittihad has offered Liverpool’s star a lucrative contract of £1.25 million per week to attract the Egyptian to Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, BeIN Sports reports that the Pharaoh had already agreed to personal terms with the Saudi giant. The 30-year-old player is ready to sign a three-year contract and is expected to earn £65 million in annual salary.
However, Liverpool has no intention of letting go of the two-time African Ballon d’Or winner. The Nagrig native signed a contract extension with the Reds in 2022, tying him to Anfield until 2025. Recently, Jurgen Klopp confirmed the club’s stance, stating that the Egyptian winger is essential to the team and that any offer from Ittihad in the coming days would be simply rejected.
“We have no offer, Mo Salah is a Liverpool player and for everything we do, he is essential. If there was something, the answer would be NO. Mo is 100% committed to Liverpool. Nothing to say,” the German coach told reporters.
