Liverpool has been pretty clear about one thing: Mo Salah is not up for sale. But it seems some Saudi investors are still keen on making a huge offer, starting at around โฌ150 million and maybe even going up to โฌ200 million, just to see if Liverpool would budge. #DeadlineDay
According to Marcotti at ESPN, Salah's heart is with Liverpool, or else he would have signed a new contract long ago. However, Liverpool's "money ball" approach to business might make them think twice about such a tempting offer. I mean, who wouldn't be tempted by โฌ200 million.
Letโs not forget about the measly earnings from winning the Europa League, so Liverpool would want the cash. ESPN pundits give Salah's move to Al-Ittihad a 35% chance. So, it's a bit of a rollercoaster right now.
But should Liverpool sell?
It all depends on if the Saudiโs make a formal offer. Liverpool know from the departures of Henderson and Fabinho that the Saudis only open talks with a club over a transfer fee when an agreement is in place with the player.

There simply isnโt enough time to recruit a suitable alternative. Any alternative at this stage would be bench material. And that will have an effect on Liverpoolโs performance in the Premier League. And thatโs their most likely path back to the Champions League.
Sure, they can go the Europa route like Sevilla. But thatโll be risky without Salah.
