Al-Ittihad are reportedly preparing yet another bid for Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah despite the public and private stance from Liverpool being he is not for sale.
According to a report from the iPaper, Al-Ittihad are preparing a stunning offer in the region of £215 million for the forward.
This is despite reports yesterday saying that the Saudi side were preparing a final offer in the region of £150 million.
According to the report, Salah is keen to ‘hear them out’ over the offer and the Anfield club are reportedly ready to listen to the offer.
Crucially, Liverpool, too, are also willing to listen to the offer as they would be silly to turn down such a monumental offer for the Egyptian forward, who is 31 years of age.
However, the report states that Liverpool remains steadfast in their stance that Salah is not for sale at any price, as the transfer window in England is closed so a replacement couldn’t be sought after.
Could Liverpool finally sell the forward
After weeks of reports linking the right winger to a move to the Saudi side, the response from Anfield has always been that he will remain in Merseyside for the following season at least.
However, the latest offer from Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, which is believed to be £215 million including add-ons, is now being considered by Liverpool, according to the report.
The iPaper claim that Jurgen Klopp’s side are discussing how they could reinvest these funds if they decided to take the money on offer from the Saudi side.
This may well be the biggest indication yet that Liverpool are considering Al-Ittihad’s offer for Salah.
However, due to the window being closed in England, it just seems unlikely that the Merseyside club would accept the offer, despite it being an outlandish one.
