Mohamed Salah Set to Be Offered Tempting £155m Deal to Join Ex-Teammate Fabinho in Saudi Arabia

• Mohamed Salah is the latest big name to be linked with a move to Saudi Arabia
• Al-Ittihad are reportedly readying a mega-money deal for the Egypt international
• The club have already signed Karim Benzema and N’golo Kante

Liverpool are set to be tempted with a £60 million deal from Al-Ittihad for the services of their talisman Mohamed Salah.

Al-Ittihad, who won the Saudi league title last season at the expense of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr, have already shown some intent in the transfer market by signing Karim Benzema and former Chelsea star N’golo Kante.

Liverpool have already lost two players to the Saudi Arabia top flight, with Fabinho joining Al-Ittihad, while Jordan Henderson moved to Al-Ettifaq.

Reports from Saudi television station Al-Riyadiah claim Al-Ittihad are in talks with Salah’s representatives over a potential move before the close of the summer transfer window.

The report claims Salah will earn a staggering £155m over two seasons, should he agree to join the Saudi champions.

Sources quoted on Metro.co.Uk said:

“The offer must be attractive for the Egyptian star to come to play in Saudi Arabia. Salah still has a lot to offer in England.”

Salah recently signed a new bumper three-year deal with the Reds worth £350,000 per week at Liverpool.

While it is unlikely he will leave Liverpool for Saudi Arabia this season, the fact that clubs from the Middle East have pulled big names already suggests that anything is possible.

Salah’s former partner in crime Sadio Mane also left Bayern Munich for Al Nassr, where he teamed up with Cristiano Ronaldo.

The pair have already started games together and were crucial in Al Nassr’s 3-1 win over Raja CA in the Arab Club Champions Cup.

The 38-year-old grabbed his third goal in as many games for his Saudi Arabian club in the Arab Club Champions Cup quarter-final.

As Ronaldo sprinted towards the corner flag in jubilation, Mane quickly joined him in performing his iconic celebration at the Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz Stadium.

And when the Al-Nassr players walk to their half to restart the game, video footage caught the away fans shouting 'Ronaldo, Ronaldo'.
