Chaos reigns free again at Liverpool after a fresh report emerged claiming that Mo Salah now wants to leave the Anfield-based outfit after being pitched a mega-salary offer.
To be clear, Relevo claim that Al-Ittihad would make the Egyptian the highest-paid player in the Saudi Pro League (yes, even above Cristian Ronaldo).
Putting aside the obvious, in that the forward’s agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, has ALREADY made it expressly clear his client won’t be leaving this summer, former Red and best pal Dejan Lovren jumped on X to share his two cents on the matter.

It’s fair to say that it’s highly unlikely BOTH the Croatian and Salah’s agent would be wide of the mark on this given how public they’ve been with their assertions.

With Saudi’s financial might already having lured both our former captain in Jordan Henderson and our specialist No.6 in Fabinho, of course, fan anxieties in this regard are not without a basis.
Regardless, we’d be mightily surprised to see our No.11 make the switch to the Middle East anytime soon.

Lies, Lies and more lies.
What we have seen in this summer transfer window is the priority from FSG.
To cut costs, cut the wage bill, put profit before trying to get back into the champions league.
Salah will be the final nail in the champions league coffin.
Another 15 million off the wage bill. Henderson fabinho should have been sold next summer. You get back into the champions league first.
Two seasons without champions league football and Liverpool are in trouble.
The bids will soon come for Salah, FSG will want a big transfer fee, if they get it, they will sell. Bang goes the last hope of champions league football next season.
Manchester city have lost players to the Saudi pro league. Laporte and mahrez. They immediately replaced them with quality. FSG just aimlessly dithering and holding back on the cheapest way of getting players. Still no quality defensive midfielder, no central defender.
FSG are now a feeder club for the Saudi pro league.
Alisson, van dyke, Robertson are next.
Quality players are not being replaced, Liverpool are sinking into oblivion under charlatan owners FSG.
Would be great business for the Reds to cash in on Salah now. Money is no object to the Arabs so set the price at a new world record- they’ll pay it – and he’ll be the poster boy of their league given his huge following amongst his co-religionists.
Despite how good he has been for us he’s now too predictable and too greedy in his performances and wrong side of 30. Time to cash in and use the funds to reinvest in the squad. Both Elliott and Doak can/will step up to fill that right wing slot – and we’ve enough firepower to make up for his goals. Might even score a few more team goals without Mo’s selfishness.
Take the money.
