AL-ITTIHAD CONFIDENT OF LANDING SALAH AFTER PLAYER AGREES PERSONAL TERMS
Al-Ittihad want to sign Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and make him the highest played player in the Saudi Pro League.
As Spanish media Relevo revealed on Thursday, the club are convinced the player wants to join and have already reached a personal agreement but face a battle to get him out of Liverpool with just a week left of the European transfer window and two years left on his contract.
Salah would be linking up with Karim Benzema if he makes the move. And he would become a direct rival to Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr, eclipsing the world record £175million-a-season deal the Portuguese signed last year.
The Spanish publication also claims that the Egyptian international wants to leave the Anfield club, and that his entourage have met with Al-Ittihad officials in Dubai to make clear their intentions to make him the highest-paid player in the league.
However, luring the player from Liverpool is surely going to be far from straight forward with the Premier League season already underway.
With the Premier League’s transfer deadline on Friday, September 1, Liverpool will have precious little time to replace their talisman, even if they should receive an offer that could tempt them into selling.
It reports that the player’s religious beliefs are a key part of his thinking, with Islam the official religion of Saudi Arabia.
