Liverpool to receive €100m Mohamed Salah bid

Liverpool could reportedly be set to receive offers worth as much as €100 million for Mohamed Salah during the upcoming January transfer window.

The Egypt international has been left out of Liverpool’s starting XI for their last three Premier League matches and he launched a fiery message to the Reds following their 3-3 draw versus Leeds United on Saturday.

Salah, 33, is regarded as one of Liverpool’s greatest ever players, however he could be set to seal an acrimonious exit in January amid significant transfer interest from Saudi Arabia.

The former Fiorentina and Chelsea winger will compete for Egypt at the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, which kicks off on 21 December, and there is a feeling that his final Liverpool appearance could potentially come against Brighton & Hove Albion next Saturday.

That is because he is being courted by a number of teams in Saudi Arabia.

Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal are leading the race to acquire Salah’s signature in January and CaughtOffside have reported that Liverpool are set to receive bids worth between €80-100m when the winter transfer window opens.

The Reds hierarchy are expected to soon sit down with Salah’s agent to discuss his future at Anfield, however a January exit appears to be on the cards amid his current situation with Liverpool head coach Arne Slot.

Mohamed Salah takes aim at Liverpool

Following Liverpool’s draw against Leeds on Saturday evening, Salah launched a furious rant at Slot and the hierarchy at Anfield in a now-viral interview.

“I can’t believe it, I’m very disappointed,” Salah told reporters. “I’ve done so much for this club. Everyone can see that over the years, especially last season. To be on the bench – I don’t know why. I feel like the club is throwing me under the bus. That’s how I feel.”

When asked about Slot, Salah said: “I have said many times before that I have a good relationship with the coach. Suddenly, we don’t have a relationship. I don’t know why.

“It’s not acceptable to me, to be honest,” he added. “I don’t know why it always happens to me. ‘We throw Mo under the bus, because he’s the problem.’ I don’t think I’m the problem.

“To me, it seems like someone doesn’t want me at the club. This club has always supported my children. I love the club so much. I always will.

“I called my mother yesterday, you [the press] didn’t know I wasn’t going to start today, but I knew it. I said, ‘Come to the Brighton game [on 13 December], it doesn’t matter if I play or not, I’m going to enjoy it.’

“We’ll see what happens, in my mind, I’m going to enjoy it anyway, because I don’t know what’s going to happen [in January]. The game will be at Anfield, so that will be my goodbye before I go to AFCON.”

“The club made a lot of promises this summer, so far, I’ve been benched three games in a row. You can’t say they’ve kept their promises.”

The Egypt legend has 18 months remaining on his current deal at Liverpool, having signed a contract extension back in April, but he is widely expected to leave the club next year.
