All eyes on Salah as Saudi transfer window deadline draws close

Riyadh: Speculation over Mo Salah’s future at Liverpool continued Monday as the Saudi Arabian Football Federation and Roshn transfer deadline approached – despite Jurgen Klopp saying the Egyptian was not for sale.

The transfer window closed before the weekend in England with a whopping $2.98 billion spent in the Premier League.

But Saudi teams have until Thursday, Sept. 7 to seal their deals.

Al-Ittihad could potentially increase their previously rejected offer for Salah, of  £189.5 million.

This is despite Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp insisting that the 31-year-old is not for sale and reports that Salah told teammates he intended to stay.

The next transfer window for the men’s game is on Jan. 1 to 30 in the Kingdom according to the Saudi Arabia Football Federation website.
