Liverpool star forward Mohamed Salah has agreed a for a transfer to Al-Ittihad, according to the channel beIN Sports. However, there has been no agreement reached between Liverpool and the Saudi Club yet.
Currently, Salah at Liverpool is reportedly on £350,000 wages per week. But the Saudi Club is all set to offer far more than his current wages. Reportedly, Al-Ittihad is set to pay the 31-year-old even more than Al Nasser’s Cristiano Ronaldo who is on astronomical wages of £175 million a year.
However, The Athletic on Thursday reported that Liverpool has said the Egyptian star is “not for sale”.
“There’s nothing to talk about from our point of view,” coach Jurgen Klopp also said on Friday. “Mo Salah is a Liverpool player. Obviously for the things we do, essential. “There’s nothing there. If there would be something, the answer would be no.”
Salah has been leading the front line for the Reds and has been the top scorer for the club in the last six seasons. His goal against Bournemouth on Saturday took him over club legend Steven Gerrard for the most goals for Liverpool with 187 goals and stands fifth on the all-time top scorer list for Liverpool.
