Salah's Agent Sets Record Straight On Mega-Money Saudi Offer
Mohamed Salah's agent has responded to rumours suggesting that the Egyptian is in talks to complete a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia.
Following their elimination from the Arab Club Champions Cup at the hands of Al Hilal, it was rumoured that Al Ittihad were keen to bring the two-time CAF African Men's Player of the Year to Jeddah.
The Saudi Pro League champions have already acquired the services of French duo Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante, as well as Salah's former Liverpool teammate Fabinho, and were said to be willing to offer Egypt's all-time top goalscorer £155 million (R3.6 billion) over two years in order to lure him to the Gulf state.
A source was said to have told Arriyadiyah: "It is true. There are negotiations between Mohamed Salah and Ittihad Jeddah.

"If we considered leaving LFC this year, we wouldn't have renewed the contract last summer. Mohamed remains committed to LFC," the player representative said via his official Twitter account.

Saudi clubs may make more attempts to sign the pacey winger, but for the time being, it appears he will be staying put in England.
