Al-Ittihad made an outrageous offer on Friday, but Liverpool rejected it. However, there is still time for the Saudi club to accomplish the historic acquisition of Mohamed Salah.
maintain composure and turn down a huge £200 million bid for Mo Salah.
He is aware that, despite his status at Anfield, the Fenway Sports Group thinks it makes financial sense to sell a 31-year-old player for a record sum.
After the Merseyside club turned down Al-Ittihad of the Saudi Pro League’s initial £150 million offer, the Middle Eastern leadership is becoming more optimistic that the club will accept a higher offer.
That would make Klopp angry since he wouldn’t have had time to find a suitable replacement for his goal-scoring winger.
Salah’s departure would significantly hinder Liverpool’s attempt to win the Premier League, even though the Saudi transfer window doesn’t close until Thursday.
Although the player has not voiced any objections to the club’s stance, he has admitted to intimate pals that he is being seduced by the prospect of a fantastic pay package worth £1.5 million per week and the opportunity to become the face of his native Middle East.
Salah is expected to move to the extremely wealthy Saudi Arabia next summer, but Klopp wants him to stay for one more season. However, Klopp has had to submit to FSG’s commercial arm on several times over the course of the last few seasons in regards to signings and departures.

He is worried about the policy of getting rid of players older than 30 and replacing them with younger players who have more promise. Salah is still open to a last-ditch attempt to seize him by Al-Ittihad, who have money to spend and won’t take no for an answer.
Jamie Carragher, a legend of the Kop, advised his old team to consider the generous offer despite the possibility of losing their talisman. When you consider that Harry Kane only had a year left on his Spurs contract when he was sold for roughly £100 million, he is a year or two younger.
Salah still has two more years and takes excellent care of himself. For Liverpool to sell now, they won’t want what he is worth; they will want more, he said on Friday night to Sky Sports.
