Liverpool have just received shocking news when Al Ittihad has increased the purchase price of striker Mohamed Salah to £ 215 million, thereby making the Egyptian striker the most expensive deal in the world if it is completed.
Representatives of the Saudi Pro League flew to London yesterday to make a shot in the signing of Salah, before the transfer market of this tournament closed on September 7.
Salah was courted by Al Ittihad with a huge offer
This is an advantage of the Saudi Arabian league compared to other countries when they still have the opportunity to shop while other major tournaments have closed their summer markets. Al Ittihad is desperate to get Salah’s signature and once bid 170 million pounds for the 31-year-old striker.
However, the offer was rejected by Liverpool and now, the number has been raised to £ 215 million with additional terms to convince “The Kop” to release. The SunSport newspaper revealed that Salah will receive a salary of £ 2.45 million a week if he leaves the Anfield team, making him the highest-paid player in the world.
And yet, the Egyptian star will enjoy a large percentage of shirt sales, along with a bonus for each win worth £ 55,000 / match. Salah will also act as an ambassador for at least three major companies in Saudi Arabia for the duration of his contract in the wealthy country.
Will the Egyptian star “break up” with Liverpool?
Being an ambassador for three companies alone will help Salah pocket £ 18 million a season when each company is willing to pay this striker £ 6 million. Those are extremely attractive remuneration regimes that every superstar dreams of.
Salah still plays regularly for Liverpool this season. The star born in 1992 had 2 goals and 2 assists in all 4 starts for “The Kop” this season. Coach Klopp still considers Salah his favorite student and always affirms that he wants to continue working with this striker.
However, Liverpool will need to consider carefully because they are receiving a very good offer for a striker who has turned 31 years old. Besides, Salah himself is probably also shaken by the conditions offered by Al. Ittihad made it and the final decision will likely be announced before September 7.
