Al-Ittihad are prepared to offer Liverpool a package worth a potential $162 million for Mohamed Salah, according to a new report.
Last week it emerged that the Saudi Pro League champions were stepping up their pursuit for the Egyptian, who has two years left on his current deal at Anfield. However, as reported by the ECHO, were adamant Salah was not for sale.
But now, according to James Benge of CBS, Al-Ittihad are ready to “test Liverpool’s insistence” that Salah is not for sale with an offer worth $162 million.
The report adds: “The Saudi Pro League title holders have made the Egyptian their top target between now and the closure of their transfer window on September 20 and are prepared to sanction a deal that would greatly eclipse their country’s transfer record, the $97 million Al-Hilal paid for Neymar earlier this month.
“Sources indicate that the deal would be made up of around $108 million in guaranteed payments to Liverpool with a further $54 million in performance-related bonuses, not all of which would be easily achievable.”
