SAUDI ARABIA chiefs are tempting Mo Salah to quit Liverpool this summer with a stunning £65million payday for just TWO seasons in the desert. One of the Gulf state’s most powerful figures fuelled the story by posting a picture of Salah wearing an Al-Hilal shirt.

Turki Alalshikh, who has masterminded Saudi Arabia’s effective takeover of professional boxing, has a ministerial role in the Kingdom’s government and is also chairman of the state’s General Entertainment Authority. A close ally of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the effective ruler of the nation, Al Alshikh signalled Al-Hilal’s determination to land Salah ahead of their appearance in this summer’s new expanded Fifa Club World Cup.

Given the costs involved, that would only be possible with approval of bin Salman and the Saudi Public Investment Fund. Fifa chiefs have given participating clubs an extra transfer “window” to sign players in time for the competition, which kicks off in mid-June, before the normal end of contract at the end of that month.
And it has now emerged that the Saudis are ready to offer Salah a mouth-watering sum if he does agree to cut his ties with Liverpool and move to the Riyadh-based club. Salah’s lack of agreement on a new deal with Liverpool - and public comments about his “last season” at Anfield - has increased doubts over his wish to sign a new deal at Anfield.
