Liverpool expecting fresh offer for Mohamed Salah as Saudi big-spenders Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal consider £70m bid for Reds star

The Egypt international was the subject of sizeable bids from the Saudi Pro League last year, with Al-Ittihad said to have made an offer worth at least £80 million ($100m) for Salah, with a salary worth around £65m ($82m).

Salah ended up staying at Anfield for the 2023-24 campaign, but talkSPORT reports Liverpool are preparing themselves for another push to lure him to the Middle East. Al-Ittihad are expected to make a new attempt to lure him away from Merseyside, but this time they face competition from current Pro League leaders Al-Hilal, who are prepared to offer £70m ($89m) for him.

Salah, 31, has just over a year left on his current contract at the Reds, meaning they may want to cash in on him this summer if he does not extend his deal. He is not the only big Premier League name who could be targeted in the next transfer window, though, as Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne and Manchester United duo Casemiro and Raphael Varane may also be the subject of bids from Saudi Arabia.

Before he considers his future options, Salah will hope to lead Liverpool to the Premier League title this season, with Jurgen Klopp's team sitting level on points with Arsenal at the top of the table. The Reds are also in contention to win the Europa League and face Atalanta in the quarter-finals this week.
