Crucial and concluding Liverpool held discussions today over the bombshell Mo Salah sale as the super agent revealed the ‘very distressing’ offer.
On Thursday, when representatives from the Saudi Arabian club officially present the Merseysiders with what has been called a “very disturbing” offer, Liverpool will hold critical negotiations over the sale of Mohamed Salah to Al-Ittihad, a source has confirmed.
The Saudi Pro-League’s biggest coup thus far would be to sign the Egyptian superstar, the biggest name in Arabic football, who is 31 years old. Al-Ittihad will therefore do whatever it takes to convince Liverpool to sell Salah.
To that purpose, the Saudi team increased their offer for Salah from an initial £60 million to an outrageous and official £150 million deal, which Liverpool rejected last week.
Although the Reds have remained steadfast thus far, Salah transfer rumors are persistent and won’t go away.
To that end, there have been rumors, strangely coming from Saudi Arabia, that Salah has already agreed to the transfer and is “awaiting boarding on a plane to Jeddah.”
Few would excuse Salah for being tempted by the transfer given that they want to pay him a world record salary of £2.4 million annually along with other bonuses like national sponsorships and a win bonus.
And now that a new offer for an incredible £215 million is being prepared, Jamie Carragher has cautioned Liverpool that they must now accept it.
But Jurgen Klopp is adamant. He believes that Liverpool has no intention of accepting money for a player who, at this point in the season, would essentially be useless to his team. The Merseysiders would lose their best and most crucial player with no hope of finding a replacement until the January market opens in 116 days.
Officials from Al-Ittihad make Liverpool one last offer for Mo Salah.
According to Italian journalist Rudy Galetti, the sale of Salah is now expected to reach a pivotal and decisive stage on Thursday, the day the Saudi Arabian transfer market shuts.
The final meeting between Al-Ittihad and Liverpool for Salah will be tomorrow morning, according to Galetti, who spoke last night.
“A major effort for the delegation, which will be represented by two club members, two PIF members, and one Tourism Authority member. Soon, more information
Jon Smith, the man dubbed the world’s first super-agent, has made predictions about how the drama will conclude given the uncertainty surrounding whether Liverpool will genuinely consider talks.
And sadly for the Reds, he sees that Liverpool won’t have much of a choice given the “very disturbing” offer
He told Caught Offside, “I think Salah will leave, which is really troubling for Liverpool. “At his age, I assume that money will be the decisive factor. This is an educated assumption, but I could be incorrect. Because Saudi could easily write a check for £200 million, I predict that he will leave.
Where else will Liverpool be able to obtain funds of that magnitude, and where else will Salah, who is towards the end of his playing days, be able to earn up to £95 million annually?
Klopp would be devastated by the transfer of Salah.
If Liverpool’s finest and most crucial player were to depart, the effects would be enormous. Not only the 188 goals he has scored in 308 games since signing the contract
Additionally, Klopp would probably be extremely angered by the sale because he has made it clear why Liverpool cannot consider his sale.
The Reds manager has dodged dozens of inquiries over the conceivable sale in the interim.
The most recent time that Klopp spoke was following his team’s victory over Aston Villa on Sunday. He said: “Nobody came to me and warned me something could happen or whatever. Without a doubt, I would have received a call, but I didn’t.
And Mo never gave the impression that he was thinking about anything besides Aston Villa.
Although his figures are amazing, it is not surprising that he possesses them.
Now that D-day is approaching, Klopp will finally see if his team will stand their ground or yield to the Saudi millions.
