Determined to add yet another prestigious player to its squad, Al-Ittihad went out of its way to try to recruit Mohamed Salah this summer. Indeed, the reigning Saudi Pro League champion offered a nice jackpot, more than €150 million for the Reds striker, but came up against the intransigence of Liverpool, wishing to keep its star at all costs.
However, the Saudi club has not said its last word and as we mentioned the day before, it plans to return to the charge next winter for the Pharaons scorer (88 caps, 49 goals). Despite everything, the team of Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kanté considered a plan B in the event of failure in the Mohamed Salah case. According to The Telegraph, Al-Ittihad considers Richarlison as an alternative. The Brazilian striker certainly had a mixed first season with Tottenham (35 games, 3 goals, 3 assists in all competitions) but remains a player with an interesting profile, with good ratings abroad.
