And more than one Saudi journalist confirmed through Saudi sports channels yesterday, that the Jeddah club has settled all matters related to the contract with Mohamed Salah, and a simple rotch remains in the negotiations with Liverpool for the official announcement.

The story of the penalty clause in the contract of Mohamed Salah
While Dave Kumar, an expert in sports laws, talked about the possibility of Egyptian Mohamed Salah breaking his contract with Liverpool, England, after closing the transfer window in England and moving to Al-Ittihad this season.
Dave Kumar added, during media statements to the “In the Goal” program on Al-Arabiya channel, that as long as the Saudi market is open, there is an opportunity for Salah to transfer, but it is difficult for Liverpool, because he will not be able to replace Salah.
And the sports jurist continued, saying in the statements that the Saudi newspaper, Sabq, highlighted: “If there is a clause in the Egyptian player’s contract stating that he will pay the penalty clause, then he can pay it and leave, as this situation has happened previously with Uruguayan Luis Suarez.”
He pointed out that in the Spanish League the penalty clause can be paid and the contract terminated, while the matter is not the case in the English Premier League.
And “Kumar” stated regarding the possibility of “Salah” breaking his contract during the coming period, that this is difficult to implement in England unless it is stipulated, unlike what is happening in Spain and other leagues.
Today’s Saudi newspaper, on the Salah deal: The ball is in Liverpool’s court
The same thing was confirmed by the Saudi newspaper Al-Youm, that the Al-Ittihad administration has no alternative but to resolve direct negotiations with the Liverpool administration during the next few hours, especially since the fans of the dean are still dreaming of completing the historic Mohamed Salah deal.
The Saudi newspaper responded to the question of Al-Ittihad supporters about the possibility of Mohamed Salah terminating his contract with Liverpool and paying the dean’s administration the penalty clause if the player agreed to leave, stressing that there are no penalty clauses in the Egyptian star’s contract.
She added that Mohamed Salah’s new contract, which was concluded in July of last year 2022 with Liverpool, does not include a penalty clause, which obliges the management of the Federation or any other club wishing to buy the player by negotiating directly with his English club.
The Mohamed Salah deal.. the last offer from the Jeddah Federation to Liverpool
The newspaper, “Daily Mail”, confirmed in a report yesterday that Al-Ittihad club is preparing an offer of 118 million pounds sterling, to include Mohamed Salah from Liverpool, after previously offering him an amount of 100 million pounds sterling.
The newspaper added that Liverpool is still steadfast in its position, that its Egyptian star is not for sale, especially since the Reds management knows very well that the departure of Mohamed Salah at this time will anger technical director Jurgen Klopp, especially since Salah is a key element in the German coach’s project.
The settlement of the Mohamed Salah deal soon
Journalist Rudi Galletti of the Italian network “Sport Italia” also said through his official account on “Twitter” that the Jeddah Federation sent an important delegation to the city of “Liverpool” in order to persuade the English club and its German coach, Jurgen Klopp, to agree to the departure of Mohamed Salah.
Galletti added, “Ittihad Jeddah Club decided to increase the offer submitted to Liverpool in order to include Mohamed Salah for more than $100 million.”
Mohamed Salah joined Liverpool in the summer of 2017 from Rome, Italy, and his current contract with the Reds extends until 2025.
Mohamed Salah played 3 matches with Liverpool in the English Premier League this season, during which he scored a goal and assisted two goals.
