Saudi press reports confirmed today, Thursday, that the Saudi club, Ittihad Jeddah, is close to signing Mohamed Salah, captain of the Egyptian national team and top scorer for Liverpool, England.
The reports indicated that “views converged on the path of agreement between Al-Ittihad and Liverpool regarding Salah’s transfer to the Saudi Roshan League.”
Liverpool had closed the door to Salah’s departure at first, but he returned and agreed to enter into talks due to the large financial offer made by the federation.
For his part, Salah wanted to complete his season with Liverpool, but the latter’s opening of the door to negotiations made him consider the Saudi offer very seriously.
Al-Ittihad Club hopes to prepare its team to secure an effective participation in the Club World Cup, which will be organized on its land and among its large fans next December.
According to the Saudi newspaper, Al-Riyadiah, today, Thursday, Al-Ittihad is racing against time to persuade Salah and Liverpool to accept the grand deal, before the summer transfer period in Saudi Arabia closes on September 7.
According to the news of the Saudi newspaper, the Jeddah Federation offered Mohamed Salah a salary of 180 million pounds sterling over two seasons, or approximately 860 million Saudi riyals per season.
It is noteworthy that the federation has so far included four players, the French Ngolo Kante and Karim Benzema, the Portuguese Jota Felipe, and the Brazilian Fabinho Tavares.- (dpa)
