Overview
- The story originates with Foot Mercato and has been widely echoed, though some Liverpool-focused outlets caution about the reporter’s reliability.
- Reports claim Salah has permitted his agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, to begin negotiations with Al‑Ittihad and is said to be more open to a Saudi move than last year.
- Multiple outlets cite a potential salary offer in the region of £1.2 million per week, far exceeding his current Liverpool deal.
- Speculation follows a public fallout with manager Arne Slot in December and a subdued 2025‑26 campaign, with some reports noting six goals so far.
- Salah’s contract runs to June 2027, meaning any transfer would require a substantial fee, and Al‑Ittihad are seeking a marquee signing after losing Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kanté.
