, chairman of Fenway Sports Group, has turned down a Saudi Pro League offer of
£150m for Salah.
Liverpool are determined to fend off Al-Ittihad’s new approaches to Mohamed Salah but the coming days are likely to prove every moment of challenge Jurgen Klopp has foretold.
Mike Gordon, chairman of owner Fenway Sports Group, politely but firmly rejected the Saudi Pro League’s offer of a £150m deal for the Egypt international and claims the matter has been resolved.
club related endings.
However, with the Pro League window open until Thursday, it is highly likely that Al-Ittihad’s return with an improved offer will cause further destabilizing effects.
This is why Klopp once again expressed concern about this disparity, because “nobody (in Europe) can react anymore”.
When Saudi interest in the 31-year-old first surfaced last month, Egyptian agent Ramy Abbas wrote on Twitter on August 7:
“If we were considering leaving the LFC this year, we wouldn’t have renewed our contract last summer.
Mohamed remains committed to the LFC.
This time Abbas did not appear as such and while Salah’s candidacy has certainly weighed heavily on preparations for Sunday’s visit to Aston Villa, Klopp said he sees “absolutely nothing”.

“This is exactly what should have happened: this is a huge threat.
Of course you can see it the next day.
But everyone can feel it.
Villa have impressed under Unai Emery this season when, after a first-round defeat to Newcastle, they have won four consecutive matches in all competitions.
“Aston Villa is a machine – counterattack, well organised, everyone is 100% committed.
When they defend deep, they defend as much as possible and from there they advance,” Klopp said.
“It was a big game, there’s no doubt about that.
Yes, we have to play a top game to achieve something.
“Then there was the international break, so we were able to start well (and) have a very good start to the season in terms of results.
But there are 115 minutes in between.

News of Mohamed Salah’s potential departure is sure to be celebrated by supporters of the clubs the Red Devils will be battling in the Premier League’s top flight in the coming months, but look to next week.
swapping Saudi Arabian players with enthusiasm and hope that the Premier League will be the League ADC’s record after six years of championship is just short-sighted.
For while Liverpool could be an easy target – aided by players thanks to the incredible wealth from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia – it could also be Manchester City, Arsenal or Manchester United.

In fact, City – like Liverpool – were forced to hastily rethink their plans due to the departures of Riyad Mahrez and Aymeric Laporte, Al-Ahli and Al-Nasr respectively.
And if even three-time champions and hugely rich Man City can’t go against Saudi Arabia’s millions, every other club in world football will suffer the consequences.
