Liverpool prevented Salah from going to Saudi Arabia

Al Ittihad has been pursuing Salah since the beginning of the summer. The defending champion Saudi Pro League considers the Egyptian star a "jewel" that can help them win good results at the Club World Cup, which takes place in December this year in Saudi Arabia.

However, Liverpool find ways to prevent Al Ittihad from approaching Salah. In the context that the transfer market is only open for a week, the departure of the 31-year-old striker at this time will be a loss that is hard to compensate for Jurgen Klopp's teachers and students. According to the Daily Mail, Liverpool have firmly stated that Salah will not leave, at least this summer.

Salah does not deny the possibility of a move to Saudi Arabia. As the most famous sports athlete in the Muslim world, the Egyptian player could be treated with great care if he accepts an offer from Al Ittihad. There is information that defending champion Saudi Pro League has offered to pay Salah $ 97 million a year.

However, for this deal to succeed, Salah needs the support of Liverpool and his agent Ramy Abbas. Two weeks ago, Abbas announced Salah would not leave Anfield this summer and remained committed to his future with Liverpool.

Despite being rejected by Liverpool, Al Ittihad was still determined to convince Salah. After Neymar moved to Saudi Arabia, the fans here believe that no player is unconvincing to them. Therefore, defending champion Saudi Pro League can send Salah more attractive offers to entice him to leave Liverpool.

After Jordan Henderson left, Salah was one of the people to take over the captain's armband of the club. The Egyptian striker is currently the highest-paid player at Liverpool, at $440,000 per week. But this number cannot compare to the level of remuneration in Saudi Arabia. After moving to Al Ettifaq, Henderson is said to be receiving $880,000 a week.

Because the transfer market in Saudi Arabia closes later than in the UK, clubs like Liverpool risk losing people without being able to buy a replacement. Klopp once spoke out about this issue with UEFA.

Al Ittihad is being led by former Tottenham coach Nuno Espirito Santo. This summer, they have brought in cult stars like Karim Benzema, N'golo Kante or Salah's former teammate - midfielder Fabinho.
