Liverpool is allegedly preparing for a substantial £215 million offer from Al Ittihad for their star player, Mohamed Salah.
In the previous week, there were widespread reports indicating serious interest from the Saudi Professional League club, Al Ittihad, in acquiring Salah from Liverpool.
It was also reported that Liverpool turned down a £150 million bid for the 31-year-old, following Jurgen Klopp’s public statement affirming that Salah was not available for transfer.
According toThe Sun, Al Ittihad are set to test Liverpool again with a whopping bid worth £215 million bid.
The report claimed that the bid would be £170 million upfront plus add-ons.
It is rumored that Salah will be presented with a staggering £2.45 million per week as an incentive to depart from Liverpool.
In addition to the substantial weekly wages, the offer includes a significant share of shirt sales, a win bonus of £55,000, and the prospect of serving as an ambassador for three prominent Saudi companies. Each of these companies is reportedly willing to pay him £6 million, which would result in Salah earning an additional £18 million on top of his already substantial contract.
Salah was on the scoresheet on Sunday as Liverpool recorded a routine 3-0 win over Aston Villa.
After the match, Reds full-back Andy Robertson was asked about the uncertainty surrounding Salah’s future.
The Scotland captain said: “For us we block that out, Mo blocks it out. We let other people talk about that.
“For us there is no concern. For us Mohamed Salah is a Liverpool player and we believe that is what is going to be the case for the foreseeable future.”
Robertson added: “He’s the ultimate professional. He does what it does, he is one of the best players in the world and he is professional.
“He lets other people do the talking, lets other people say what they have to say, but he’s always been committed to Liverpool and you saw that with this performance He’s not been affected, I’ve been around him a lot and he’s not been affected by anything. Mo has reacted in the best way possible and I think you have seen that with his performance, I think he was pretty special.”
