"However, our friends over at TEAMtalk insist that Liverpool should not expect anywhere near the £150m amount that Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad were offering the Reds in 2023. Instead, Saudi Arabian clubs are now only 'prepared to reimburse Liverpool the initial sum they paid for Salah' from Serie A side Roma, which was £36.9m in 2017."
"It is understood that 'the scale of the salary package on offer' for Salah will mean that Liverpool could suffer in terms of transfer fee. The drop in fee lines up with Salah's decline this season as the Liverpool forward has scored just seven goals in 29 matches this term."
"The Saudi Pro League 'is determined to make him a cornerstone of their ambitious future' and TEAMtalk claim that their 'plans [are] well underway to bring the Liverpool icon to the Middle East'."
Liverpool could be forced to accept a substantially lower transfer fee for Mohamed Salah if he moves to Saudi Arabia this summer. The Egyptian forward's performance has declined significantly, scoring just seven goals in 29 matches this season. While Al-Ittihad offered £150m in 2023, Saudi Pro League clubs are now only prepared to reimburse Liverpool the initial £36.9m they paid Roma for Salah in 2017. The reduced fee reflects both his diminished form and the substantial salary packages Saudi clubs are offering. Tensions between Salah and manager Arne Slot earlier in the season have since been resolved, with an understanding that Salah would leave at season's end.
