Liverpool were made a mega £215million offer for Mo Salah by Al-Ittihad on Monday night immediately after a Saudi Arabian delegation arrived in London on Saturday to make one last concerted push to persuade the Anfield bosses to sell the Egyptian striker, according to reports.
The Saudi Pro League side are obviously desperate to prise the Egyptian away from Liverpool and have followed up a £150m offer with a deal that will reach a world record £215m with add-ons, according to the Sun, with the report also claiming Salah has been offered £2.45m a week with extra incentives.
On top of that, he has also been offered a percentage of shirt sales, a £55,000 win bonus as well as cushy ambassadorial roles for three major Saudi companies, which could net Salah an extra £18m with each firm willing to pay him £6m each.
Tdespite the huge din resonating around the latest offer from the Saudis, the public message from Anfield and Jurgen Klopp has been equally loud and clear in annoucing that the Egyptian is out of bounds and is perfectly contented to remain at Anfield.
Klopp declared: “I never had any doubt about his commitment. He is our player and wants to play here.”
However, regardless of how adamant Klopp is regarding Salah’s lack of interest to take on the Al-Ittihad offer, the Saudis continue to push the deal in their ardent belief Salah would be open to joining the Saudi Arabia club.
Their deadline closes on Thursday and there are those within the Saudi camp who say they may draw a line and switch targets if there are no positive signs by Tuesday. However, others insist they will push to the end.
