Liverpool star Mohamed Salah entertaining offers from Saudi Arabia this summer have enraged Jurgen Klopp as he does not want to lose the player.
The Merseysiders have faced quite a lot of trouble in the transfer market from Saudi Arabia this summer.
The club lost two of their key midfielders, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho as they joined the Saudi Pro League.
This has affected their midfield rebuild process and resulted in a lack of depth and quality in the middle of the park.
However, the Reds managed the situation with the signing of Wataru Endo and are working towards the fourth signing.
The Anfield giants had received an offer earlier in this transfer window for Luis Diaz worth €50M from Saudi. They also had received an offer for Thiago, however, both of them rejected it.
While recently the club received a massive offer for Mohamed Salah from Al-Ittihad. And the latest report might cause some panic for the Reds fans.
Klopp furious with Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah
According to new a report via Sport Mediaset, Salah is close to joining Al-Ittihad. And this has enraged the Liverpool manager.
The Italian media outlet even said that the Egyptian is just ‘one step away’ from leaving the Premier League club for Saudi.
The Merseysiders had ‘initially closed the door to Salah’s transfer’. But then they ‘accepted informal discussions’ when the Saudi giants returned with a ‘large financial offer’.
The 31-year-old ‘wanted to complete his season’ with the Anfield side. But the club’s ‘opening of the door to negotiations made him consider the Saudi offer very seriously’.
The Saudi club apparently are now ‘racing against time to persuade Salah and Liverpool to accept the major deal’ before the Saudi transfer window closes on September 7.
Klopp and Liverpool most definitely will not accept this bid. But if the Egyptian international decides to leave, the club is eyeing PSV player Johan Bakayoko as a potential replacement for him.
