Liverpool has received a warning from club legend Robbie Fowler to prepare for a potentially massive bid for Mohamed Salah, which could reach a staggering £300 million ($378 million). The wealthy Saudi Arabian club, Al-Ittihad, reportedly submitted a £150 million ($189 million) offer for the Egyptian star before the close of the summer transfer window in England. However, this bid was swiftly rejected by the Premier League giants.
Interest from the Middle East persists, and there have been rumors that Salah may be tempted by the lucrative contract on offer. Reds icon Fowler, who is currently coaching at Al-Qadsiah in Saudi Arabia, has shared his insights with The Mirror, suggesting that the Salah saga might not be over. Fowler stated, “Regarding the biggest question in football at the moment – let’s call it the Salah saga – well, watching the situation unfold over here in Saudi Arabia, it is unmistakably clear that Al-Ittihad is not ready to give up just yet.”
Fowler went on to explain, “There’s still a week left in the Saudi transfer window, and I can tell you Salah WILL be ending up here. Maybe not in this window, but sometime soon, because of who he is, and just how many people here want it to happen so desperately. There’s no doubt he’s by far the most famous footballer in this part of the world, and, as I said last week, they want him to be the face of the Saudi Pro League. Also, as we’ve seen elsewhere, what the Saudis want, they usually get.”
It’s worth noting that Salah is under contract with Liverpool until 2025, meaning Liverpool is not under any immediate pressure to sell the player. Salah continues to chase records and achieve milestones at Anfield after a remarkable six-year stint with the club.
