In response to interest from the Saudi Pro League, Premier League powerhouse Liverpool reportedly agreed on their asking price for Mohamed Salah.
Salah was strongly rumored to be joining Al-Ittihad of the Saudi Pro League during the summer transfer window of the previous year.Near the close of the transfer window, the Middle Eastern team attempted to sign the Liverpool star but was unsuccessful, so they decided not to try again with a better offer.
Salah remains a target for Al-Ittihad and other Saudi teams, but Liverpool will be keen to hold onto the Egypt international before the next campaign begins.
For Jurgen Klopp’s team this season, the 31-year-old has been in incredible form. Across 28 appearances this season, he has ten assists and 19 goals in all competitions.
The Liverpool star’s current deal is set to end in2025. This week, former Tottenham striker Mido made claims that Salah had already finalized his move to Saudi Arabia. “Next season, Mohamed Salah will play in the Saudi League,” he tweeted. Agreements have been signed.
David Ornstein of The Athletic naturally argued that this was “not true” in response to these remarks.
“Regarding Mido and other individuals sharing their data, I have been informed that the claims of written contracts are untrue. “I’ll hold my hands up if I’m wrong,” Ornstein declared.
Regarding the information that Mido and others have reported, I understand that it is untrue that contracts have been signed. Ornstein declared, “I’ll hold my hands up if I’m wrong.”
“He is close to the end of his current contract, so there’s a good chance teams from the Saudi Pro League will pursue him again, but that doesn’t mean he wants to leave Liverpool or Europe.”
Given Salah’s incredible production since signing from Roma in 2017, Liverpool believes it will be difficult to replace him should a move to the Middle East materialize.
But the Reds will only permit him to depart for a huge sum of money far over £100 million, which means they will have the money to find a replacement for him on the transfer market.
As a long-term Salah replacement, Pedro Neto of Wolves is a player Liverpool could target, according to a report from Football Insider on February 12. He might cost between £50 and £60 million this summer, according to reports.
