Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad ‘increasingly confident’ of signing Liverpool star Mohamed Salah

Saudi Professional League side Al Ittihad are ‘increasingly confident’ of signing Liverpool superstar Mo Salah, it has been reported.

Salah has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia for the last few weeks.

Earlier in the month, Salah’s agent Ramy Abbas said: “If we considered leaving LFC this year, we wouldn’t have renewed the contract last summer. Mohamed remains committed to LFC.”

However, on Thursday morning, it was reported that the Liverpool forward had changed his mind.

According to Arriyadiyah, Salah is now considering the offer from Al Ittihad very seriously after being offered a huge contract.

It has been claimed that Al Ittihad are increasingly confident of signing Salah before the summer transfer window shuts on September 20.

However, the Saudi Arabian side are facing a race against the clock to negotiate with Liverpool, who will be tough in negotiations as the English transfer window is due to shut in less than a week’s time.

Sports Zone have also reported that Al Ittihad are confident in bringing the Egyptian to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Last weekend, Salah scored his first Premier League goal of the 23/24 season after scoring in Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Bournemouth at Anfield.

Since joining Liverpool in a deal worth a reported £34.3 million back in 2017, Salah has been one of the best players in the world football.

In 307 appearances, Salah has scored 187 goals whilst getting his hands on the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, UEFA Super Cup, FA Community Shield and the FIFA Club World Cup.

Back in May, Reds boss Jurgen Klopp said: “No worries, no [that Salah wants to go]. I couldn’t read anything that could lead in that direction.

“Obviously Mo loves being here and Mo was part of it. He said apologies for what ‘we’ did – not apologies for ‘what the other guys did, but I had to go with them’. Not at all. It is all fine.”
