Despite the persistent setbacks in their pursuit of Mohamed Salah, Saudi Pro League teams remain undeterred and continue to target other Liverpool stars.
Preparations are underway within Saudi Pro League clubs to make a concerted effort to sign players like Luis Diaz and Joe Gomez during this transfer window.
With Jurgen Klopp’s departure, Liverpool supporters are hopeful that Arne Slot can instill a fresh wave of success at Anfield. The Dutch manager’s first order of business seems to be reshaping the squad.
Although Mohamed Salah appears inclined to remain at Liverpool despite offers from the Middle East, uncertainty looms over his future, given the sentiments shared by other key players at The Kop.
Reports from British media suggest that both Diaz and Gomez are on the radar of Saudi Pro League teams. These players, believed to be ready to depart Anfield following Klopp’s exit, have been targets since last summer.
Diaz, who is 27 years old, made the move to the “Reds” from Porto in a £37.5 million deal in January 2022. On the other hand, Gomez, who just concluded a remarkable season, has been a mainstay at Anfield since 2015. Despite Saudi Arabian clubs targeting these players since last summer, Liverpool has consistently rebuffed their advances.
Saudi Pro League clubs were heavily linked with Salah last summer, with Al-Ittihad even tabling a staggering offer of £150 million. However, Liverpool remained resolute in rejecting the proposal, despite ongoing interest from the Saudi Pro League.
Salah still has one year remaining on his contract at Anfield, and negotiations regarding its extension are ongoing. While nothing has been confirmed, the Egyptian striker hinted at the possibility of staying at Liverpool in a recent social media post.
“We understand the significance of trophies, and we will leave no stone unturned to achieve success next season. Our loyal fans deserve it, and we are committed to fighting for it,” Salah’s post emphasized.
