Mohamed Salah received a lucrative offer from the giants of Saudi Arabia, but the striker refused because he wanted to stay at Liverpool for at least 1 more year.
After successfully recruiting Cristiano Ronaldo earlier this year, Saudi Arabian clubs have been boisterous in the European transfer market when splashing money to buy a series of big stars. A number of names have agreed to move to the Saudi Pro League to play with huge salaries, including young players or at the peak of their performance. These include Benzema, Neymar, Fabinho, Ruben Neves..
The latest, the giants of Saudi Arabia raise the ambition to bring Mohamed Salah to their tournament. Salah is 31 years old, Liverpool’s top scorer for the past 6 seasons. Despite Liverpool going through many crises, the Egyptian striker still maintains a respectable scoring performance. To this point, he has a total of 187 goals in 307 games and won every club title with Liverpool.
According to reputable sources, Al-Ittihad is ready to offer Salah a two-year contract worth 180 million euros and other special incentives. However, Salah immediately refused and insisted he just wanted to stay with Liverpool.
Salah just renewed his contract with Liverpool last summer and became the highest-paid player in Anfield history. Despite Al-Ittihad’s lucrative offer, the Egyptian striker still has ambitions to play at the highest level in the next 1-2 years and he has no plans to leave Liverpool.
Meanwhile, Liverpool also do not want to sell Salah at this time. The Kop has just had a tumultuous summer and suffered many setbacks in the transfer market. They will not have enough time to find a replacement for Salah if he moves to Saudi Arabia.
