The summer transfer window is set to close on Friday, September 1, at 11 p.m. BST / 6 p.m. ET, and one of the biggest stories of the day is the potential move of Liverpool star Mohamed Salah to Saudi Arabian club Al Ittihad. According to beIN Sports, Salah has agreed to join Al Ittihad, who are willing to pay over £120 million for the Egyptian forward. However, Liverpool has not accepted any offer from Al Ittihad and insistst that Salah is not for sale.
Salah, who has been Liverpool’s top scorer for the last six seasons, is one of the best players in the world and has won numerous individual and team awards with the Reds, including the Premier League, the Champions League, the FIFA Club World Cup, and the UEFA Super Cup. He has also been a critical figure for his national team, leading Egypt to two Africa Cup of Nations finals and scoring 51 goals in 90 caps.
Salah’s departure from Liverpool would be a massive blow for the club and their fans, who adore him for his clinical finishing, dazzling dribbling, and humble personality. He is also a role model for millions of Muslims worldwide, openly displaying his faith on and off the pitch. Salah has a contract with Liverpool until 2025, which reportedly pays him £350,000 per week.
On the other hand, Al Ittihad is one of the most successful and popular clubs in Saudi Arabia and Asia, having won nine league titles, nine King’s Cups, eight Crown Prince Cups, and two AFC Champions League titles. They are also one of the four clubs that have been taken over by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which has given them access to a considerable amount of money to attract some of the world’s best players to Saudi Arabia. Al Ittihad have already signed Karim Benzema from Real Madrid and N’Golo Kante from Chelsea this summer and hope to add Salah to their star-studded squad.
The transfer saga of Salah has been one of the most talked-about topics in the football world, as many fans and pundits have expressed their opinions on whether he should stay at Liverpool or join Al Ittihad. Some argue that Salah deserves to earn more money and play in a less competitive league. In contrast, others claim that he should remain loyal to Liverpool and continue challenging for major trophies in Europe. The final decision will depend on Salah, who has not publicly commented on his future.
Will Salah stay at Liverpool or join Al Ittihad? Will Liverpool accept any offer from Al Ittihad or reject them all? Will Al Ittihad break the transfer record for Salah or give up on him? These questions will be answered on transfer deadline day as fans worldwide await the outcome of one of the biggest deals in football history.
