Salah backs up his agent’s words
It was only a matter of time before Mohamed Salah became subject of reported interest from Saudi Arabia.
If snapping up Fabinho for £40m, leaving Liverpool without a holding midfielder on the eve of the new season, wasn’t enough for Al-Ittihad, reports on Sunday night and Monday morning suggest the Saudi outfit had the Reds’ Egyptian King in their sights.
Football’s most high-profile Muslim player, Salah’s signature would inevitably be the most prized jewel in the Gulf state. Yet his agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, wasted no time in making the forward’s stance regarding his Liverpool future clear.
