Jürgen Klopp is not calm. This summer, the German has already lost several important players like Roberto Firmino (out of contract), Jordan Henderson and Fabinho. All have joined Saudi Arabia. And it’s no secret, Al-Ittihad hopes to dislodge Mohamed Salah by the end of the summer transfer window. But the Liverpool coach closes the door for his star despite a proposal of 300 million euros in total (transfer price and player salary).
Last week, he also confided in a press conference: “We don’t have an offer, Mo Salah is a Liverpool player and for everything we do it’s essential. If there was, the answer would be NO. Mo is 100% committed to Liverpool. Nothing to say.” Despite this punchy media outlet, this soap opera is far from over. He also risks agitating the English team until the end of the transfer window.
A new proposal is coming
This Thursday, the DailyMail explains that Al-Ittihad, who would also have views on Joe Gomez, does not let go of the Egyptian player. Karim Benzema’s club are ready to test Liverpool. He is even convinced of being able to crack Liverpool before the end of the transfer window. This, for a very specific reason. Saudi leaders are convinced that Mo Salah wants to join them. They have traveled to Europe for the past few days and they have had feedback that the player is ready to talk to them and leave the English.
Convincing Salah should therefore not be a problem. On the other hand, Liverpool will be harder to seduce. THE DailyMail explains that Al-Ittihad wants to offer nearly 137.5 million euros to the Mersey club. Moreover, everything is planned if Liverpool ends up giving in since the general manager of the Saudi Pro League, Saad al-Lazeez, has moved to Cannes to settle the last issues of the transfer window in Europe. But nothing is certain since the Email assures that Klopp will be furious if Salah leaves. To be continued…
