During the last summer transfer window, Mohamed Salah and Liverpool had rejected Saudi League’s Al Ittihad’s world-record $270 million offer. Rumors, however, still have it that Al Ittihad or some other Saudi outfit will pursue the Egyptian forward. With such talk still in the air, Liverpool now seems to be hellbent on thwarting any attempt to lure their main man. The Merseyside club is mulling to give Salah a longer stay so that the Pro League clubs’ plans are nipped in the bud.

Per his current contractual obligation, Salah will be a Liverpool player till the end of the 2024-25 season. However, the current contract might soon be a story of the past. Per reports, a new contract is in the making for the Egyptian stalwart.

Liverpool is going the extra mile to thwart Saudi Clubs’ Mohamed Salah dreams

Turkish journalist and transfer expert Ekrem Konur had earlier said that Liverpool is considering to extend Mohamed Salah’s contract until 2027. This is to keep Saudi clubs like Al Ittihad at bay. Now, according to Konur’s recent update on X, ‘Liverpool believes they will extend’ Salah’s contract until 2027, despite mammoth offers from the likes of Al Ittihad. Since Jurgen Klopp‘s side thinks the contract extension is possible, they would indeed have spoken to Mo Salah about the matter, and perhaps he might have given the nod.

Though the official communication is yet to be out, it is likely for the 31-year-old to have a longer stay at Anfield. He had stayed loyal to Klopp and co. when Al Ittihad came up with back-to-back enterprising offers. Furthermore, he is not loyal just for the sake of being loyal. The superstar attacker is having quite the comfortable stay with the Reds.
