Al Ittihad are ready to pay Liverpool a transfer fee of more than £100m for the Egyptian King to join them. They are also willing to offer Mohamed Salah a salary package worth about £1.5m a week. Skyports have confirmed.

Fabrizio Romano tweets that “Liverpool have been clear with Mo Salah and Al Ittihad. No intention to negotiate, he’s considered not for sale”.

The only way the winger will leave for Saudi Arabia this summer is if he forces through a dramatic late move away from Liverpool.
