Television reports revealed that the Saudi club, Ittihad Jeddah, is seeking to settle the Egyptian international Mohamed Salah’s deal to its ranks during the current summer transfer period, due to fears of his transfer next summer to Al-Hilal or Al-Ahly, who are also interested in obtaining the player’s services.
Journalist Ben Jacobs said, in statements to CBS, that Al-Ittihad club’s desire to sign Mohamed Salah this summer is very strong, due to the team’s lack of guarantee that it will be the club chosen to sign the player next season.
Jacobs added: The transfer of Mohamed Salah to Al-Hilal or Al-Ahly next season will be possible, so Al-Ittihad is preparing to present the last offer within 48 hours, and the club is preparing to offer 175 million pounds sterling, and it may even reach 200 million.
He continued: The Saudi delegation is no longer as optimistic as before about completing the deal, but they do not intend to give up, but the management of Al-Ittihad Company desperately wants to settle the deal this summer because they are afraid that the Saudi Investment Fund may consider Al-Hilal Club as an alternative for Mohamed Salah in 2024.
He confirmed that Liverpool FC is steadfast in its refusal to sell its star, Mohamed Salah, to the Saudi Professional League, despite the imaginary offers it receives.
And British press reports revealed the arrival of a Saudi delegation to the British capital, London, to negotiate with the Liverpool club management regarding the transfer of Egyptian international Mohamed Salah to the professional league.
And according to the “Daily Mail” newspaper, a Saudi delegation arrived in London yesterday evening, “Saturday”, to enter into a final stage in negotiations regarding the inclusion of Mohamed Salah in the Saudi Professional League during the current summer transfers.
And the official account of the Anfield Watch website on Twitter, quoting the Daily Mail, stated that ittihad club officials arrived in London in a final attempt to include Mohamed Salah before the registration door was officially closed.
In a report, the newspaper commented on Mohamed Salah’s potential and his importance to Liverpool, saying: “Three things seem certain in life: death, taxes, and Salah getting at least 30 goals in all competitions in one season.”
The report added: “Those who can be compared to the number of goals Salah scores season after season are exceptionally few, but one element of his game that may be underestimated is his style of play, his vision and his ability to find the right pass at the right time.”
Last season, in addition to scoring 19 league goals, Salah turned into a goal-maker with 12 assists (a figure bested only by Kevin De Bruyne, widely regarded as the best attacking midfielder in the world).
This development in which Salah has become an all-around striker, rather than just a prolific goalscorer, is a continuing trend this season, with the winger notching two goals and two assists in the first four games of the season.
