Despite $418,000,000 Deal, Neymar Jr Left to Bite the Dust By $90 Million Premier League Superstar With Massive Saudi Offer

Neymar Jr. made serious waves as he decided to move to Saudi Pro League, penning a deal with Al Hilal. The Brazilian superstar signed a big money deal that will see him make $418 million over the course of two years. However, it seems like his salary pales in comparison to the recent offer made to a Premier League superstar. Saudi side Al Ittihad have been chasing Liverpool’s ace for a while now and are willing to dish out big money for the $90 million worth of player.

According to the latest reports, Saudi Arabian side Al Ittihad wants to do all in its power to lure away Liverpool’s star. The club sees the superstar as the new face of the Saudi Pro League and is willing to get the deal done by all means necessary.

Al Ittihad looking to lure away Mohamed Salah from Liverpool

Saudi side Al Ittihad are doing all in their power to land Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah. The side has allegedly offered him a $200 million-plus bonus salary, hoping to make him the face of the league. Salah is a beloved icon in the Middle East and a move to Saudi could see a huge boost in his popularity.

However, with the European transfer window shut, Liverpool is not willing to part away with their biggest star. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has done all he can to convince the player to stay at the club. But with the transfer window in Saudi still open till the 20th of September, the side faces an uphill battle.

It will be interesting to see if Al Ittihad can somehow convince Liverpool to part ways with their prized asset. Klopp and his men have been quite reliant on Salah as their main attacking threat. Losing him right now with no chance of signing a replacement could be a massive setback.

Salah could oust Neymar Jr. and Cristiano Ronaldo as the face of SPL

Neymar Jr. and Cristiano Ronaldo are currently the face of the Saudi Pro League with the duo making the most money from the league. However, if reports are to be believed, Mohamed Salah’s salary could easily shadow the one offered to the two superstars.

Al Ittihad, who already have the likes of Karim Benzema and Jota in their ranks, will vastly benefit from the addition of Mohamed Salah. Al Ittihad is willing to increase its offer in the coming days, hoping to weaken Liverpool’s resolve. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can manage to keep hold of their star player.

Will Mohamed Salah leave Liverpool to join Al Ittihad? Let us know in the comments below.
