Liverpool are bracing for late offers from Saudi clubs for Mohamed Salah and could entertain proposals around the £100 million mark.
According to Football Insider, Liverpool could consider bids worth £100 million for Mohamed Salah. The Merseysiders are braced for a tough period in the transfer window regarding the seven-year veteran attacker as they face a big decision on whether to keep or sell.
Liverpool open to Mohamed Salah offers?
Liverpool face a conundrum of sorts regarding the futures of at least three key players. Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Mohamed Salah are in the final year of their deals, and the club are still mulling over their next steps regarding whether to hand new deals or sell them for considerable fees.
The arrival of Arne Slot and some performances during pre-season have made Liverpool look strong, with only Salah among the trio featuring so far. There is a big argument that Liverpool should cash in on the trio and re-invest the money into building their squad for the new manager.
However, the more considerable argument revolves around the importance of the three players for the team, especially Salah, who had another goal-laden campaign at Anfield. Saudi clubs had reportedly pushed the idea of signing the seven-year veteran at least until next year for a variety of reasons, although they are also expected to make a late attempt to sign a few notable Premier League stars, including Salah.
In the case of the latter. Liverpool are reportedly open to selling Salah for bids around the £100 million mark, as it would be tremendous business on their part. While earlier reports suggested they might not sell the Egyptian, the ideas might have changed in the background regarding their stance, as a respectable bid might be accepted despite how much the seven-year veteran brings to the attacking third.
Advantage Salah?
With Liverpool and their fans bracing for yet another late-window drama regarding Salah, the Egyptian attacker might find himself in an advantageous position. He could use the Saudi interest as a cursor to pressure Liverpool into handing him another lucrative deal to continue his stay at Anfield or even negotiate significant terms with Saudi Pro League sides in return.
The window for Salah might be a small one, as this month could be his best opportunity to extract the best out of all parties concerned. Next year, when he becomes a free agent, the Saudis may not offer a massive contract that some other SPL stars are currently on, as they could play a bargaining chip to land the attacker then.
