Reports suggest that Liverpool are contemplating turning down a staggering £200 million bid for Mohamed Salah, with the possibility of allowing him to depart on a free transfer, as revealed by Christian Falk.
During the summer, the Reds dismissed advances from Al-Ittihad amounting to £150 million for their star forward. Their decision was grounded in the belief that Salah's impact on the team far outweighs any monetary compensation.
Their stance appears justified, given Salah's outstanding performance this season, contributing 18 goals and nine assists for Liverpool. The Egyptian sensation currently shares the top scorer title in the Premier League with 14 goals, even after missing the last three matches.
However, Liverpool faces another crucial decision regarding Salah's future.
Recent reports indicate that Al-Ittihad is preparing an even larger bid, surpassing the previous one and reaching a potential world-record sum of £200 million. With Salah's contract set to expire in the summer of 2025, the decision becomes increasingly complex.
Liverpool has limited time left with Salah, and the prospect of receiving substantial funds is tempting. Yet, according to transfer insider Falk, the club is contemplating rejecting the offer and allowing Salah to depart on a free transfer.
"Mo Salah might go to Saudi Arabia. In the summer there was an offer, but Liverpool are still not sure whether to let their superstar go," said Bild's Falk.
"I’ve heard that Liverpool can even imagine letting him go on a free transfer as they’ve already made their money back from what they paid Roma for him."
Opting to reject a £200 million bid and letting a player leave for nothing a year later may seem unconventional. However, considering Salah's significant contributions to Liverpool's success, there's a sentiment that he's already repaid his transfer fee with his performance.
Moreover, Salah reportedly desires to extend his stay at Liverpool beyond the current season, believing he can continue performing at the highest level for a few more years before pursuing lucrative opportunities in Saudi Arabia. This indicates a willingness from Salah to sign a new contract, potentially enabling Liverpool to maintain their star player and compete for more trophies.
While rejecting a substantial transfer fee might seem counterintuitive, retaining Salah could offer Liverpool the chance to capitalize on his talents for a little longer and potentially secure more silverware before his eventual departure.
