Salah on the radar: Al-Ittihad revives talks as Liverpool exit looms

Al-Ittihad Reopens Talks with Salah as Liverpool Departure Looms

News: Al-Ittihad has reopened talks to sign the Egyptian star Mohamed Salah following his formal exit from Liverpool at the season’s end.

ESPN reported exclusively that the Saudi club has resumed negotiations, seizing Salah’s decision to end his Anfield chapter as a chance to revive a deal that nearly happened two years ago.

Back in September 2023, Al-Ittihad reportedly bid 150 million pounds for Salah, but Liverpool refused to part with their talisman.

Now, with Salah’s future uncertain, the club hopes to make him the face of its project, especially after Karim Benzema’s move to Al-Hilal during the winter window.

According to ESPN, Al-Qadsiah remains the only Saudi team financially capable of competing with the benchmark, as other sides such as Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli have reportedly stepped back from the race.

The broader transfer chatter links Salah to a potential new chapter and the market is heating up as clubs map their options for the summer.

Punchline 1: If Salah lands in Saudi, expect the goals to come with an automatic data plan—the numbers will be on your phone bill.

Punchline 2: And if the deal stalls, remember: in football, timing is everything—deadline day is basically a national holiday in the rumor mill.
