Al-Ittihad are reportedly ready to test Liverpool’s resolve with a €150 million (£129m/$162m) bid for Mohamed Salah before the summer window closes.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The Egypt international forward is tied to a contract at Anfield through to 2025 and has expressed no desire in public to walk away from that deal. There have, however, been reports of his head being turned by interest from Saudi Arabia.

According to CBS Sports, Al-Ittihad – who already have Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema on their books – are preparing a big-money bid for Salah. They will also put a contract proposal to the 31-year-old that would bring him in line with the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar in the salary stakes.
