Saudi club has a tight deadline to sign Salah.
The Saudi Pro League has announced that
their transfer window will close on Sept. 7
as Liverpool look poised to resist any
further offers for Mohamed Salah.
ESPN reported on Friday that Liverpool
rejected an offer worth up to £150 million
($190m) for the Egypt international from Al
Ittihad.
The Saudi Arabian club finally made their
move Friday morning, offering an initial
£100m for Salah with additional incentives
making it worth an eventual £150m to
Liverpool.
But sources have told ESPN the offer for
Salah has been rejected and the matter is
closed, with a Liverpool source telling ESPN,
“The player is not for sale.”
A statement from the Saudi Arabia Football
Associated on Monday read: “As
communicated to clubs Saudi Arabia on
Friday June 30, the summer registration for
player transfers for the Roshn Saudi League
[Saudi Pro League] closes on Thursday Sept. 7.”
Salah scored in Liverpool’s 3-0 win over
Aston Villa on Sunday and Klopp said that
the forward is fully committed to staying at
Anfield this season.
“He didn’t tell me [if he wants to stay] but he
didn’t have to,” Klopp told reporters after
the game, “He speaks with his training and
performances and behaviour. We had
meetings this week, and the meetings were
not about what we did in the past, it was
about what we will do in the future.
“Mo was with the players’ [leadership]
committee and had his moments where he
was talking and it was nothing like ‘by the
way, this is only until next week’ or whatever.”
Salah’s former teammates Jordan
Henderson, Sadio Mané, Fabinho and
Roberto Firmino completed deals to Saudi
clubs this summer.
