Liverpool’s wind of change may be blowing in the direction of the Saudi Pro League once more. Al Ittihad, a prominent side in the league, are once again casting admiring glances towards Liverpool’s prized asset, Mohamed Salah. The question on everyone’s lips is: will Liverpool consider selling their Egyptian dynamo?

Salah to Al Ittihad: What’s The Score?
While the future remains uncertain, Ramy Abbas, Salah’s agent, was quick to quash rumours just earlier this month. Responding to the whispers, he remarked on August 7:”
“If we considered leaving LFC this year, we wouldn’t have renewed the contract last summer. Mohamed remains committed to LFC.”
Salah’s commitment to Liverpool was further solidified last summer when he put pen to paper on a new three-year deal. This lucrative agreement crowned him as the highest-paid player in Liverpool’s illustrious history, raking in an impressive £350,000 per week.

Liverpool’s Saudi Exodus
Interestingly, Liverpool have already bid farewell to two of their seasoned players who set sail for Saudi shores. Notably, Jordan Henderson, their former stalwart captain, made a £12million move to Al Ettifaq. Following in his footsteps, Fabinho then sealed a £40m move, joining the very club showing interest in Salah, Al Ittihad.
