News that Saudi Arabian giants, Al-Ittihad, could be about to drop a £200m offer on Liverpool for their talisman, Mo Salah, has seen one of the co-creators of the Premier League suggest that the Egyptian King will leave the Anfield outfit – in this window.
Salah is already 31 years of age and, whilst not close to retiring from the game, is probably going to be considered as past his ‘peak’ years as a player.
To that end, whatever Liverpool may say in public, if a near world-record offer arrives, they can’t afford to just dismiss it out of hand.
The will of the player will clearly go some way to determining the stance that Liverpool take during the course of this week, but one has to bear in mind that surely the Saudi delegation that has apparently arrived in London (Daily Mail) wouldn’t have done so without encouragement from the player or his representatives.
‘I think Salah will go which is very disturbing for Liverpool. At his age, money has to be the the deciding factor I’m guessing, and it’s a pretty educated guess though I might be wrong. My guess is that he will go because Saudi could write a check for £200m easily,’ former super agent, Jon Smith, wrote in his exclusive CaughtOffside column.
‘Where else are Liverpool going to get that sort of money and where else is Salah, heading towards the end of his career, going to earn, potentially, £95m a year?’
Whilst life beyond Salah isn’t a thought that most Liverpool supporters could contemplate, the same could probably be said with Tottenham fans and Harry Kane.
Spurs have spent wisely with the money received from their striker, and although Liverpool would have to wait until January to do the same, £200m gives them huge scope to improve.
No player is bigger than the Club if the Saudis offer £200 Million for Salah we should take the money as long as Salah is interested in the move this sort of money could be wisely invested in 3 or 4 new players 2 new centre backs a defensive midfielder and striker
Spot on Dave…👍
replacing Salah is not as easy bro ask your self why are they targeting him numbers dnt lie remember mane left lst summer we struggled bigtym , Salah scores he assists he ain’t injury prone we need him forward those guys they still need some few things to learn from him,if they wanted him badly why didn’t they come and bid the whole summer Salah is irreplaceable he’s a world class they are trying to weakn us so that their fellow Saudi clubs qualify for champions lig, they are disrespecting Liverpool window is closed wre are done no deal
we replace him first before selling him if they are serious pre contract
If LFC hasn’t given any serious money to Klopp for reinforcing his squad, what makes LFC fans think that any of the cash for Salah is going to come Klopps way?
Mo has been great for Liverpool and a true professional. However, with only one year left on his contract and the age of 31, it doesn’t take a lot of working out.
I wish him all the best!
We need to say NO to these people, every thing is MONEY MONEY MONEY, they think they can just buy whatever whenever.
Golf now Football every fiber of our DNA is being bought.
Let’s not forget who we are,
“WE ARE LIVERPOOL LALALALALA”
