Saudi chief explains failed Mohamed Salah transfer – “We close no doors”

Salah was subject of at least one bid from Al-Ittihad during the summer transfer window, with it reported that Liverpool turned down an offer worth 150 million.

But their deadline passed with no move to Jeddah for the Egyptian, who remains at Anfield after becoming the clubs fifth-highest goalscorer in history last month.

It is widely expected that a club from Saudi Arabia whose revamped league is fuelled by the royal familys Public Investment Fund will return for Salah in the future.
