Mohamed Salah to Al Ittihad - Merson Says Salah Will Go For?200m Before End of Saudi Window

Liverpool FC remain vulnerable to Mohamed Salah joining Al Ittihad after they submitted a lucrative bid on Friday which they rejected by Liverpool.

Al-Ittihad’s PS150m offer

Liverpool have reportedly turned down an initial bid of PS150 million from Al Ittihad for Mohamed Salah but are not prepared to relent in their pursuit. While Liverpool are determined to retain him at Anfield, Al Ittihad are set to test Liverpool with another improved offer for 31-year-old. The Saudi window doesn't close until next Thursday so Al Ittihad are sure to try one last time to tempt them with more lucrative offers for Salah.

Saudi Pro League champions Al Faisaly are set to increase their offer of PS200 million for Salah, who has scored 187 goals since joining from Roma in 2017. TalkSPORT understands they may go even higher as they attempt to sign him permanently at Anfield with two years left on his contract.

Paul Merson suggests Liverpool should consider selling Mohamed Salah and making a January bid for Arsenal striker Bukayo Saka. According to Merson, selling Salah would give Jurgen Klopp the opportunity to build his squad ahead of a potential challenge for the Premier League title and use any proceeds from selling to sign a replacement - and sees Saka as their ideal candidate.
