Liverpool are set to receive a £60 million bid from Al-Ittihad for Mohamed Salah, according to reports in Saudi Arabia.
Al-Ittihad, who finished as champions of the Saudi Pro League last season, have already strengthened with the signings of Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante and Jota this summer.
Liverpool, meanwhile, have already lost Jordan Henderson to Al-Ettifaq, while Fabinho completed his move to Al-Ittihad last week.
According to Saudi television station Al-Riyadiah, Al-Ittihad are now in talks with Salah’s representatives to discuss a potential move before the end of the summer window.
The report claims that the Saudi club are willing to offer Salah a deal worth €180 million (£155m) over two seasons and will submit a £60m bid to Liverpool.
A source close to the player told Al-Riyadiah: ‘It is true. There are negotiations between Mohamed Salah and the Saudi club Al-Ittihad.
‘The offer must be attractive for the Egyptian star to come to play in Saudi Arabia. Salah still has a lot to offer in England.’
Salah signed a three-year contract last July which is worth around £350,000 per week.
The 31-year-old scored 30 goals in 51 appearances for Liverpool last season.
