Mohamed Salah was the subject of a £150 million offer from Al Ittihad during the summer transfer window, but it was turned down on the basis that Jurgen Klopp already had plans for the player.

Many people questioned if Mohamed Salah would chose to break his contract with Liverpool in the early stages of the offer.

He was bound by a contract to remain in the club’s employ for two more years.

He was being charged significantly more than what the European market would have valued him at, especially given his advanced age.

Many were aware of how difficult the position was: either sell the potential to win the Premier League Cup for $150 million or hope the possibility to win the championship paid off.

In those days, rumors began to spread that Liverpool’s upper management was seriously enticed by the offer and had warned coach Klopp, who was utterly defenseless, that the player might need to be sold.

Given the money the Arabians have put on the table and the youngster’s age, respected Liverpool ex-player Jamie Carragher even predicted that the player would probably be sold.

He made the claim that the club would not turn down £200 million, but considering what ultimately transpired, this forecast would have also been incorrect.

Al Ittihad delayed their search after realizing how difficult it was for the group to part with the Moslem star.

According to rumors, the team will make a comeback during the January transfer window, and Liverpool might be more amenable to selling Salah at that time.

Salah’s selling provided Ansfield the money to hire more talent.

‘[Mohamed Salah] didn’t turn [the offer] down, no way,’ says Michail Antonio. ‘He was locked up and the Reds had put that red arrow across: ‘You are not going anywhere’.

He did not stop that at all. To be fair to him, he didn’t kick up a fuss and let them do what they were doing. But I know for a fact that he was ready to go.’

On went Antonio later: ‘What else can he do at Liverpool? He’s done it. It’s [Saudi] a great opportunity for him, he is a Muslim man and it had everything screaming out for him.

There was no actual negative for the man to not go. I understand he has a contract, which he has fulfilled.

So he wins another [Premier League title], do you know what that just means? He has won another. It doesn’t add much to anything else.

He has done everything he could possibly do at Liverpool.

I am saying to you right now, a Muslim man going to a Muslim country, £215m to Liverpool for a 31-year-old – I just find it completely crazy they’ve not accepted that.

My question to you is this: what do you think Liverpool are playing for this year? Even if you couldn’t replace the man, let’s call this season a write-off
