Mohammed Salah agrees a move to Saudi club Al-Ittihad | Football News
Liverpool star forward Mohammed Salah has agreed to transfer to Al-Ittihad, according to the channel beIN Sports. However, there has been no agreement reached between Liverpool and the Saudi Club yet.
Currently, Salah at Liverpool is reportedly on £350,000 per week. But the Saudi Club is all set to offer far more than his current wages. Reportedly, Al-Ittihad is set to pay the 31-year-old even more than Al Nasser’s Criano Ronaldo who is on astronomical wages of £175 million a year.
However, The Athletic on Thursday reported that Liverpool has said the Egyptian star is “not for sale”.
Salah has been leading the front line for the Reds and has been the top scorer for the club in the last six seasons. His goal against Bournemouth on Saturday took him over club legend Steven Gerrard for the most goals for Liverpool with 187 goals and stands fifth on the all-time top scorer l for The Reds.

Amidst a lot of negotiations between both the club and Salah’s agent, the star signed a new contract last season till the end of the 2024 season making him the highest-paid player at Liverpool. The agent has said on Twitter that Salah would stay at the club at the time.
Liverpool has already lost two stalwarts Jordan Henderson and Fabinho this summer to the Saudi league and has struggled to find replacements for them despite getting eye-watering sums of money for both players throughout the transfer window.
With the team in transition and a lot of youngsters coming through, if the club were to lose experienced Salah, it may be another difficult season ahead for the Merseyside Club.
