The final day of the transfer market in Europe brought a surprise that rocked the British Isles. From the Middle East, specifically from Al Ittihad, a stunning bid was launched for Mohamed Salah’s services, reaching the staggering sum of 150 million euros, between fixed and variable amounts. However, from Anfield, Liverpool categorically rejected this offer.
Despite that first refusal, they have not let up from Saudi Arabia and with their transfer window still open until September 7, several English media outlets are reporting that Al Ittihad are planning a new attempt to sign the Egypt international with an even more tempting commercial offer.
Klopp closes the door again: Salah will not leave Liverpool
Liverpool, managed by Jurgen Klopp, have always shown a strong reluctance to let Mohamed Salah go. The German coach emphatically emphasized in various press conferences that “Mo is not for sale.” After the Reds’ recent win against Aston Villa, Klopp once again opened the door to a possible transfer to Arabia: “Salah is untouchable,” explained the coach.
With market days still remaining in Saudi Arabia, the Saudis are determined to win over Salah, who may be eyeing his last major Middle East deal. On the other hand, both Liverpool and Klopp have maintained firm positions since Anfield and are poised to retain their Egyptian star.
Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool remains uncertain but with the market closure looming the resolve of the English club and their manager seems unshakable. Reds fans will continue to wait and see how this story unfolds over the next few days.
