Al-Ittihad have reportedly agreed personal terms with Mohamed Salah as the Egyptian waits for Liverpool’s decision.
The Tigers had identified Salah as one of their main transfer targets this summer to be part of their long-term project.
After spending over £65 million on the signings of Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, Fabinho, and Jota from Celtic, Al-Ittihad are still looking to bolster their attack.
Previous reports had confirmed that Liverpool rejected a number of proposals from Al-Ittihad for Salah with Jurgen Klopp confirming his stay beyond the summer.
However, it seems that Liverpool could change their mind about the 31-year-old and allow him to complete a sensational move to Saudi Arabia.
According to a report by Saudi newspaper Arriyadiyah, Salah has informed Liverpool officials about his desire to join Al-Ittihad this summer.
The decision is reportedly now in the hands of Liverpool who are demanding a staggering fee in the region of £150 million to let Salah leave on deadline day.
Liverpool’s no.11 had signed a contract extension at Anfield that runs until the summer of 2025 and with two years remaining in his deal, it won’t be an easy transfer to negotiate for Al-Ittihad.
The report also added that Liverpool will delay talks until the final minutes of the transfer window to get the best possible offer for their all-time Premier League top scorer.
Salah joined Liverpool back in the summer of 2017 and inspired the Reds to multiple silverware including Premier League and UEFA Champions League titles.
