According to former Norwegian international and sports pundit Jan Aage Fjørtoft, Salah is ‘likely’ to move to the Saudi Pro League in the coming days with just about a day left to close the transfer window.
“I understand it’s likely that Salah will leave Liverpool this week,” he tweeted on X.
Ittihad has offered the Liverpool star a lucrative £1.25 million a week deal to lure the Egyptian to play in Saudi Arabia.
beIN Sports reported that Salah has already agreed on personal terms with Ittihad. The 30-year-old is said to be ready to pen a three-year deal and is set to earn £65 million as a yearly salary.
The Athletic has also reported that Liverpool have no intention of letting go of the two-time African Footballer of the Year.
Salah signed a contract extension with Liverpool in 2022 worth a reported £350,000 a week.
Liverpool head coach Jurgen Klopp confirmed the club’s stand during his pre-match, citing that Salah is essential to the club and thus any offer from Ittihad in the coming days would be rejected.
“We don’t have an offer — Mo Salah is a Liverpool player and for all the things we do is essential…If there would be something, the answer would be NO. Mo is 100% committed to Liverpool. Nothing to talk about”.
