Mo Salah has reportedly authorised Saudi Arabian representatives to open negotiations with Liverpool over a potential transfer THIS summer.
As for Salah, he has been Liverpool’s talisman since joining the club, but he’s also been subject to interest for a few years from the elite of world football.
A report from Alkass Sports Channel claims Salah has reportedly authorised Saudi Arabian representatives to open negotiations with Liverpool over a potential transfer this summer.
However, it goes against what Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, said on August 7 when he commented on his future: “If we considered leaving LFC this year, we wouldn’t have renewed the contract last summer. Mohamed remains committed to LFC.”
This news is somewhat timely after we saw Salah’s clear and obvious frustration when being substituted against Chelsea with 15 minutes to go at the weekend during the 1-1 draw. The Egyptian was obviously upset about being taken off with the game in the balance, as he barged past the Liverpool coaching staff to sit down.
However, despite the constant links, he is still very much at the top of his game and a move away at this point in his career makes little sense other than financial.
If Salah does leave Liverpool this summer, it would be a major blow for the club. He is their top scorer in the Premier League this season with 22 goals, and he is also one of the most popular players in the world.
However, Salah’s decision to leave Liverpool is understandable. He is at the peak of his career and he is likely to earn a lot of money in Saudi Arabia.
It will be interesting to see how the negotiations between Liverpool and Al Nassr or Al Ittihad progress. If a deal is reached, it would be one of the biggest transfers in Premier League history.
It is understood that Salah’s representatives have met with officials from Al Nassr and Al Ittihad, two of the biggest clubs in Saudi Arabia.
Liverpool are said to be open to selling Salah this summer, but they are demanding a fee of £60 million for the 30-year-old.
It remains to be seen whether Al Nassr or Al Ittihad are willing to meet Liverpool’s asking price, but the fact that Salah has authorised his representatives to open negotiations suggests that a deal could be close.
