The summer transfer window closes on Friday in Europe, with the Premier League deadline at 11 p.m. BST / 6 p.m. ET, and there’s plenty of gossip swirling around. Transfer Talk brings you all the latest buzz on rumours, comings, goings and, of course, done deals!
Al Ittihad will test Liverpool’s resolve to keep forward Mohamed Salah with the Saudi club willing to make an approach worth £150 million, according to The Telegraph.
The report reveals that while Al Ittihad are prepared to submit a substantial offer, Liverpool’s unwillingness to strike a deal has made the move difficult. The Reds are not willing to part ways with the 31-year-old so late in the transfer window, which would make securing a replacement difficult for the Jurgen Klopp’s side, and are wary that the Saudi window doesn’t close until Sept. 20.
Salah was impressive in what was a disappointing last campaign for the Merseyside club, netting 19 goals and 12 assists in the league.
Liverpool have seen three of their players from last season make the switch to Saudi Arabia this summer, with the midfield duo of Jordan Henderson and Fabinho joining Al Ettifaq and Al Ittihad, respectively, and Roberto Firmino joining Al Ahil following the expiration of his contract at Anfield.
