Liverpool shock as ‘Al-Ittihad prepare £60m transfer bid worth £80m A YEAR for Mo Salah as Saudi side contact agent’
LIVERPOOL are allegedly bracing themselves amid news that the Saudi Pro League are targeting another one of their stars.
A shock report has emerged stating that the Reds are about to receive a £60million offer for superstar Mohamed Salah from Al-Ittihad.
The reigning champions of the Middle East country have already snapped up Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante and Jota so far this summer.
Now Saudi television station Al-Riyadiah are claiming that Al-Ittihad are now in talks with Salah’s representatives over a potential move.
THey state that they are willing to offer the Egyptian a whopping £155m in wages over a two-year deal.
And they added that a bid of £60m will soon be submitted to Liverpool for the forward.
Jurgen Klopp has already lost two of his key men to Saudi Arabia this summer window.
Club captain Jordan Henderson completed his controversial switch to Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq, while fellow midfielder Fabinho has joined Al-Ittihad.
A source close to the player has allegedly told Al-Riyadiah: “It is true. There are negotiations between Mohamed Salah and the Saudi club Al-Ittihad.
“The offer must be attractive for the Egyptian star to come to play in Saudi Arabia. Salah still has a lot to offer in England.”

Salah has achieved legendary status at Anfield since his move from Roma in 2017.
He has scored 137 Premier League goals in 218 appearances and helped the Merseyside giants end their long title drought in 2020.
The 31-year-old has also lifted the Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup and Fifa Club World Cup during that period.
And Klopp hoped that he had ended speculation over his future back last summer when he penned a bumper new £400,000-a-week three-year contract with Liverpool.
Now he faces a fresh worry ahead of their Prem opener at Chelsea this weekend.
