Liverpool are reportedly set to receive a \u00a3129million offer for Mohamed Salah from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad.<\/p>\n
The Saudi champions in recent days have prioritised signing the 31-year-old Reds forward. It emerged last week that the side, who already signed Ballon d\u2019Or winner Karim Benzema and N\u2019Golo Kante this summer, were prepared to make Salah the highest-paid player in the country.<\/p>\n
Now Al-Ittihad are preparing a Saudi record transfer for the Egyptian just weeks after rivals Al-Hilal paid Paris Saint-Germain \u00a377m for Neymar Jr, according to CBS Sports.<\/p>\n
The deal would involve Liverpool receiving \u00a385m in up-front payments for their talisman, as well as an additional \u00a344m in bonuses.<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s stance, however, is understood to be unchanged. The Anfield club do not want to lose their all-time Premier League top goal-scorer with the season, especially with the season already underway due to fears it would disrupt Jurgen Klopp\u2019s pursuit of a top-four finish.<\/p>\n
Speaking on Friday, Jurgen Klopp said: "Mo Salah is a Liverpool player and essential for everything we do. If there would be something [an offer], the answer would be no.<\/p>\n
Do you think Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool? Let us know in the comments section.<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cMy life philosophy is I think about a problem when I have it, and there is absolutely nothing at the moment."<\/p>\n
Klopp\u2019s comments came before Salah once again showed his worth with a brilliant assist for Darwin Nunez\u2019s match-winner against Newcastle on Sunday. It marked the Egyptian ace\u2019s third goal contribution in as many games to kick-off the campaign.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Yet despite their reluctance to let him go, it emerged on Sunday via Portuguese outlet A Bola that Liverpool had made contingency plans for if Salah leaves. The report stated wantaway Atletico Madrid forward Joao Felix has been eyed as the best option to succeed him.<\/p>\n
Liverpool are reportedly prepared to splash between \u00a360- 68m of the money they receive for Salah on the 23-year-old, who has registered 34 goals and 18 assists in La Liga since 2019.<\/p>\n
