The summer transfer window in Saudi Arabia is about to close, and everyone is eagerly awaiting the fate of the transfer deal for the star Egyptian player Mohamed Salah to the first football team of Al-Ittihad club. Salah, who is 31 years old, has reportedly agreed to Al-Ittihad's offer according to several Saudi sources; however, he does not want to pressure Liverpool’s management, which continues to insist on keeping the player in the team.
In this context, CBS Sports has revealed that ten members of Al-Ittihad's board and the Saudi Investment Fund are currently in Liverpool, making a final attempt to finalize Salah's transfer. Liverpool officials are well aware that the Saudi interest in "contracting" with the Egyptian star will continue until the summer of 2024, so they are not worried about rejecting the offer at this time.
However, the global sports network clarified that the value of selling Salah, which amounts to $215 million this summer, will significantly decrease next year, especially since his contract will end in 2025. Furthermore, Al-Ittihad may not be the leading club in the race to sign Mohamed Salah next summer, as there might be a priority for the Saudi team that wins the AFC Champions League 2023-2024, according to CBS.
