Saudi Arabia are facing yet another blow to attract a big name in European football. After losing its battle with MLS to secure the services of Lionel Messi, who finally left for Inter Miami, the Saudi Pro League had tried to offer Egyptian international striker Mohamed Salah, under contract with the Reds until ‘in 2025, and had not skimped on the means. Because yes, Al-Ittihad, reigning Saudi Arabian champion and already holder of European stars (Benzema, Kanté, Fabinho…), had sent a contract between 500 and 600 million dollars over three years to persuade the 31-year-old Pharaoh to join the SPL.
However, the Reds had already refused a check for 100 million euros drawn by the People’s Club to release him from his last two years of contract. Finally, the international with 88 caps (49 achievements) will not fly to Saudi Arabia. Indeed, according to our information, Mohamed Salah will not leave Liverpool to join the Jeddah-based club this summer, while the Saudi transfer window closes on September 7, that is Thursday. Nevertheless, the Yellow-and-Black continue to be active a few hours before the end of the summer transfer window and will try to conclude the arrival of the Italian central defender from Real Betis Luiz Felipe.
