Liverpool Football Club has given the thumbs down to a colossal £150 million bid from Saudi Pro League’s Al-Ittihad for their star player, Mohamed Salah.
The initial offer for the 31-year-old ace was slightly above £100 million, but additional clauses could have bumped the total to a whopping £150 million. But hey, Liverpool isn’t biting, not even a little.
As far as the Merseyside club is concerned, their Egyptian sensation is off-limits, a non-negotiable asset they have zero intentions of parting ways with. So, anyone eyeing Salah should probably look elsewhere; Liverpool is keeping this jewel locked in their treasure chest.
Salah, who transitioned to Liverpool from Serie A team Roma back in 2017, put pen to paper last summer, committing himself to a fresh three-year deal. So, if you had any doubt about his loyalty to the Reds, well, there’s your answer.
Interestingly, Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, had earlier thrown cold water on rumors suggesting a move to the Saudi Arabian club. He has yet to comment on this latest whirlwind of speculation tied to Al-Ittihad, but let’s be real—he already made his point clear last month.
In a social media update dated August 7th, Issa declared, “Mohamed remains committed to Liverpool. If the idea of bailing on the Reds had crossed our minds this year, we wouldn’t have inked that new contract last summer.”
Still, the story is developing, so grab your popcorn.
More updates to come.

Kudos to Liverpool for standing their ground. With the season they’re having, they can’t afford to lose Salah. No way, no how.
Seriously Al-Ittihad? Did you actually think we’d sell Salah? Dream onnn!
in economics, they call this inelastic demand. In fan language, Salah is priceless to Liverpool. Period.
Whoa, 150 mil? Liverpool’s like, “Nah mate, we’re keeping our golden boy!” LOL.
Can someone make an app that tracks all these crazy transfer offers? Cuz I can’t keep up lol
This is like when you offer all your resources in Monopoly for that one property and they still say no haha
just tuned into the football world and im like, 150M is a lotta moolah, but Salah’s worth more to the Reds, isn’t he?
3-year contract and ppl still think he’s gonna leave? do your homework people!
Can we talk about his agent though? Man knows how to play the game as much as Salah knows how to play on the field.
