Liverpool are bracing for a £200 million bid for Mo Salah after the Saudi delegation arrives in London to make one last attempt to sign the Egyptian star ahead of Thursday’s deadline
A Saudi Arabian delegation arrived in London on Saturday, where they are making one last attempt to convince Liverpool to sell Mohamed Salah this week.
The public message from Anfield and Jurgen Klopp in particular has been loud and clear that the Egyptian is not for sale and is happy at Liverpool.
A bid of around £150 million was rejected last Thursday night and his performance against Aston Villa on Sunday underlined the player’s commitment to the cause.
As Klopp underlined: “I’ve never had any doubts about his effort. He is our player and wants to play here.’
However, the Saudis will boost their offer to £200 million over the next 48 hours, believing Salah would be open to joining Al-Ittihad.

Their deadline expires on Thursday and some within the Saudi camp say they may draw a line and switch targets if there is no semblance of joy on Tuesday.
But others insist they will persevere to the end.
There was a very real prospect of Salah’s old opponent Sergio Ramos also being at Al-Ittihad, but the Spanish veteran is poised to join his former club Sevilla after signing today.
Meanwhile Ryan Gravenberch, Bayern Munich’s new signing at Liverpool, has made himself unavailable for the Orange U21 to concentrate on his new club.
He could make his Liverpool debut with Wolves on September 16.
