According to a report, Michael Edwards is prepared to cash in on Liverpool star Mohamed Salah this summer amid the Saudi Pro League’s strong interest.
The fan favourite winger has been playing well once again this season, contributing to 36 goals in just 35 games across all competitions for the Reds.
The Egyptian’s contract expires in 2025, and there has been no word on whether it will be renewed. Therefore, leaving this summer is a possibility.
After being turned down in their attempts to recruit the 31-year-old last summer, Saudi Arabia are still anxious to get Salah into the league, and a sizable offer would be too good to refuse.
Liverpool ready to make the big decision
According to HITC, Saudi Arabia are getting ready to pursue Salah once again this summer, with Al Ittihad being the most probable destination for the attacker.
The CEO of Football at Fenway Sports Group, Edwards, would be open to selling Salah this summer for a fair price, given that he indicates his desire to go to the Middle East.
Even though the Egypt captain hasn’t been playing at his best since returning from injury, he still produces goals and assists at an incredible rate that is very hard to replicate.
Salah’s future may also be determined by the person who takes over for Jurgen Klopp in the Liverpool dugout; at the moment, Ruben Amorim is the front-runner for the position.
Salah has carried the Liverpool attack on his shoulders
The Egyptian has been a brilliant servant for the club in his time at Anfield and the Reds would find it difficult to replace his goal output.
Salah’s signing proved to be a game changer for Liverpool and took them to a whole another level domestically and in Europe.
There have been reports in the media linking Liverpool to a record move for Salah’s replacement, however, it remains to be seen how the Merseyside club plan for life without one of their best players.
