It looks like the time has finally arrived to decide the future of Mohamed Salah at Liverpool. The player has been a jewel for Liverpool for the last six years. But it seems like the club is now ready to let go, as per reports. The clubs from Saudi Arabia have placed all their chips to bring in superstars from Europe, and it looks like the ploy is working. Liverpool is now ready to negotiate with the Middle East clubs for the Egyptian!
Notably, Liverpool has already seen players like Roberto Firmino, Jordan Henderson, and Fabinho move to Saudi Arabia. However, after a see-saw battle to keep Salah, the opportunity may have arrived to strike a good deal.

The last time the Middle East soccer clubs came to offer their money for the 31-year-old, Liverpool was fixed on not selling him and brushed it away. Beforehand, they reported that the Reds received an offer of approximately $191 million for Salah from Al Ittihad. But this time, Liverpool could be ready and expect considerable offers this January, according to the Mirror.
On the other hand, the soccer director of the Saudi Pro League is not too optimistic about its success. “But we also understand that Mo is happy where he is at present and in a historic, wonderful club at Liverpool. We respect that very much, and we don’t want to come across as putting any pressure on him,” said Michael Emenalo. But SPL’s clubs are expected to go for a bidding war as he could be one of the most efficient players in the market.
The player has been in spectacular form this season, helping his team top the Premier League table. Salah scored 11 goals in 16 games, along with seven assists. It is not the first time he has done it; the star has been consistent for years, scoring 200 goals in just 327 games for Liverpool.
