Mohamed Salah is set to STAY at Liverpool as the Saudi Pro League admits defeat ahead of their window closing TONIGHT… after Al-Ittihad had been prepared to offer £200m for the Egyptian star

The Saudi Pro League are willing to give up signing Mo Salah despite being willing to pay £200m for the Egyptian, with many senior executives in the Gulf state conceding defeat over the Reds’ steadfast stance.

Al-Ittihad made a £150m bid for the attacker last Thursday and has been in talks with Liverpool since Saturday, when the Saudi Pro League sent a delegate to London.

Despite several verbal plays to tempt the Premier League club, the Reds have held out so far.

The Saudi Arabian window closes at 10pm on Thursday night and barring any belated miracles on the Saudi side, Salah will be a Liverpool player.

Al-Ittihad is still ready to make one last daring attempt to sign the Egyptian, but those close to the Saudis say they are giving up hope.

Reds boss Jurgen Klopp had dismissed rumors he could leave and reiterated the player’s commitment

Jürgen Klopp’s side never saw it happen any other way, with them considering the matter closed after formally rejecting the offer last week.

The boss said on Sunday: ‘I never doubted his commitment. He is our player and wants to play here.’

The Saudis chased the Salah situation all summer, but left it on the British display late to make a serious effort to sign him, which was ultimately to their detriment.

Many believe that Liverpool might have been more willing to talk if a bid had been made a month earlier.
