Mohamed Salah: Saudi club could pay £600m to make Liverpool the highest-paid player in the world

Saudi club Al-Ittihad may have to pay a whopping £600million to make Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah the best player in the world.

But Liverpool won’t be thinking about the departure of their most valuable player from Anfield, especially with just a week left in the transfer window to find a replacement.

They are preparing for Al-Ittihad to act in the final week of the English window after reports in Saudi Arabia and Egypt claimed the club’s interest had been revived, just two weeks after the Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas, has claimed his superstar client remains committed to Liverpool.

Cristiano Ronaldo is said to be on £175million a year after joining Al-Nassr from Manchester United, considered the highest salary in football history.

He has signed a two-year deal and Salah is being offered a longer contract, at least the three-year deal offered and signed by his former Liverpool team-mate Fabinho when he joined Al-Ittihad in early August. Jordan Henderson, 33, has signed a two-year contract with an option for a third year with the club.

Salah, who turned 31 in June, is seven years younger than Ronaldo and is the most famous and marketable Arab sportsman in the world.

He also remains Liverpool’s star player and the first name on Jurgen Klopp’s squad list, despite Anfield’s wealth of attacking talent.

With two years left on the £350,000-a-week deal he signed last summer, Salah is reportedly still asking for a transfer fee well in excess of £70m, meaning Al-Ittihad would have to pay the whole thing for him to commit to Liverpool. around 600 million pounds.

That staggering sum seems unlikely given the Merseysiders barely had time to sign a replacement this month, but Liverpool have already realized this summer that the financial clout of Saudi clubs has transformed the footballing landscape. Salah could be targeted again next year with a similarly lucrative deal, although time is running out to complete the deal before the Saudi market closes next month.

Several English clubs interested in Liverpool midfielder and Klopp is prepared to sanction a move

Several English clubs are interested in Liverpool midfielder Tyler Morton, who could move to the Championship on loan for the rest of the season.

The 20-year-old was loaned out to Blackburn Rovers last season, making 40 league appearances before picking up a foot injury in April. The Reds star recently returned to full training after foot surgery cut short his 2022/23 season.

This is Anfield now reporting that several clubs have already applied to hire Morton for the rest of the season and the Merseyside club are set to approve a deal as they chase another midfielder in the transfer market.

Morton is a graduate of Liverpool’s academy and his move to Blackburn was the only time he spent time away from the Merseyside club, a period in which he made an impact. Another loan move would help the 20-year-old develop further as playing time will be difficult at Anfield for the rest of the season.

Morton played nine senior games for Liverpool, two of them in the Premier League. His last appearance in England’s top flight came in December 2021, when Jürgen Klopp launched him as a starter in a 2-2 draw at Tottenham Hotspur amid an injury crisis in midfield.

News – Liverpool hit as Man Utd strike £29m deal to sign Reds target – report

During the January transfer window, The Telegraph revealed that the Merseysiders have already agreed to land the Portugal international in a £44m deal this summer. Moreover, Anfield Watch exclusively reported a week ago that the Reds are finally looking to sign the 24-year-old star.

However, according to the latest media reports, Nunes has agreed to join Man City who are keen to strike a deal with Wolves in a bid to get them over the finish line.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the Premier League champions have already agreed personal terms with the Seleccao star and submitted an initial offer of over €50m.

However, according to the latest update from Portugal, there is unlikely to be enough supply.

According to today’s version of O Jogo, the West Midlands club agreed a €45m entry fee and €5m top-up to sign Nunes from the Lions last summer. Now they want minimum compensation of €70m (£60m) to part with their prized possession.

Nunes scored just one goal and one assist in the Premier League last season and Manchester City want him to replace the injured Kevin de Bruyne, who directly contributed to 41 goals in the treble season.

Liverpool have seen several midfield goals move elsewhere this summer and it now appears the 11-man Portuguese will eventually move to the Etihad.
