Saudi Arabia has not finished shopping in Liverpool, despite the arrivals of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho. Saudi giants Al Ittihad want to tackle Reds striker Mohamed Salah.

The future of Mohamed Salah within Liverpool raises questions. Scorer against Bournemouth (3-1) at Anfield on the second day of the Premier League, the Egyptian international (88 caps, 49 goals) finds himself at the center of increasingly persistent rumors from Saudi Arabia. Indeed, the Al-Ittihad club, where Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kanté and his now former teammate Fabinho now play, would take intensive steps to attract the Pharaoh into their nets.

This is reported by the media KingFut. According to this source, Mohamed Salah has given his approval to Al-Ittihad to start discussions with Liverpool, thus paving the way for a possible transfer. An opportunity that the Jeddah club could well seize. According to Arriyadiyahthe Gulf team would be ready to make an offer of 60 million pounds (about 70 M€) to the Mersey club for the twirling winger and offer the latter a salary of 180 M₤ (nearly 210 M€) spread over two seasons.

A Benzema-Salah duo?

Despite everything, enthusiasm reigns at Al-Ittihad. Especially since the Portuguese winger Jota, recently arrived from Celtic Glasgow, could already be sacrificed to make way for Salah. What is already dreaming of fans who soon see the birth of the Benzema-Salah duo.

” Mohamed Salah will be an Al-Ittihad player, God willing. There is a 75% chance that Salah will join Al-Ittihad. I heard that Jota won’t stay in the team. Yes, the club spent 30 million euros on him, but it turned out that he didn’t live up to expectations currently. Al-Ittihad’s interests come first. I’m delighted to have Karim Benzema as a centre-forward, but he needs world-class attacking teammates alongside him Al-Ittihad legend Mohammed Noor said in a recent interview. To be continued….
