Will he go, or will he stay, big meeting in London apparently to thrash out a deal of £215 million. If accepted, he will get £2.5 million a week. Unbelievable Jeff.
 
Once he's got used to playing in a sandy area I'd imagine he'll be looking for a golden coastal town to see out the final years of his career back in England. Nailed on Critch gets Gerrard to convince him to join us.
 
Liverpool won’t sell. They don’t have a replacement and to be honest the Saudis will pay that or more in Jan or next summer.

100% he goes. Liverpool or Salah cannot turn that deal down. Liverpool will try to buy Mbappe

That’s why I don’t think it will be in this window.
They’d have to play in the Prem without their star man and no replacement until Jan.

If they can strike a deal with PSG behind the scenes they’ll flog Salah off in Jan
 
If they really wanted him they should have moved earlier and given Liverpool a chance to get someone else in. I think Liverpool will say no but do it next summer. Anything else and Klopp will be at odds with the owners.
 
I wouldn't sell my best player & surely these players have enough money. The governing bodies from whatever countries they are from of play in should place sanctions on these twats something like happened to the cricketers in the 80's for playing in South Africa. Financial fair play my arse. They wouldn't be allowed to play in Europe or international teams again if it were up to me.
 
It Should be a no brainer for Liverpool to sell, and for Salah to accept, with the sums of money on offer!

Salah is what? 31 now? He's not going to get any better!

Liverpool have plenty midfielders, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota, Szoboszlai, Bajcetic, Alexis MacAllister, just signed Gravenberch, Harvey Elliot, so they're well covered.

so you wouldn't go for 2.5 million a week TAX FREE bollocks
 
These transfer fees and wages in the Saudi league are now getting obscene, even Liverpool would be mad to turn down that kind of offer and for the player £2.5m per week is just crazy money.

The thing is no matter how many top footballers that league sign I am not interested one bit in watching any of it, imagine live football on a Tuesday or Wednesday night in winter, you've got a choice of Champions League games say Bayern Munich v Chelsea or Man City v Barcelona or El Hittiad v El Dorado or whatever El are in town, not a cat in hells chance of watching any of that nonsense no matter who they sign.

It won't be long before UEFA ignore geography and El Hittiad etc are in the Champions League. I won't be watching, just as I don't watch it now.

No interest if they're not wearing tangerine.
 
Easy to say to wait until January but what if he breaks a leg or does a knee next weekend then Liverpool lose a huge financial asset.

Even the most blinkered Liverpool fan wouldn’t begrudge him moving on for that sort of wage. Plus they could rebuild their team with that sort of transfer fee which they won’t get for him next summer. He has won them a Champions League and a Premier League and will be a legend at that club.

Yacht, Private Jet, Personal Chef for life, houses across the world…if I was in his position at 30 years old and winning pretty much everything domestically 👋
 
£2.5 Million a week. Can you blame him?
Near the end of a fantastic career.
Good luck to him.
However, I still hate the effect that the Arabs are having on Football.
P.S. one of my favourite current players.
 
It's impossible, really, for Liverpool and Mo Salah to turn the deal down.
Salah, at best, has 3 or perhaps 4 seasons at the top, and could end up with half a billion pounds wages, plus endorsements.
Liverpool would be able to strengthen their squad considerably and cement themselves in the Champions League for years to come.
However, my main thoughts are for Blackpool, and hope for a promotion this season.

Not necessarily as surely the price of a replacement would be sky high for the same reasons.

I've never been on the real breadline, tight over the years during my kids growing up. But I've managed ok & TBH I've never been a materialistic person. So I wouldn't go. But he probably will. FFS he's on £15 million a year. 🥴

I find the effect on the Premier League quite amusing. They are having done to them what they did to the Football League. Now they know how it feels to no longer be top dog in the greed stakes.

I get your drift and agree that the 'Greed League' have been doing this to other leagues for years. So it is quite amusing to see this. But to date the vast majority of players who have been tempted by the Saudi money have been at or towards the end of their careers. I know Salah is still a great player and by all accounts he's a fitness fanatic, but at 31 he's probably only got another couple of seasons at that level. Father time catches up with everyone, no matter the ability. Ronaldo being a prime example.
I think Liverpool should snatch their hands off (no pun intended) at £215m.
I think the Prem will start worrying when the Saudis are taking players at their peak.

The problem with Liverpool taking the money, is that any replacement is going to be hugely more expensive as these huge fees inflate top players values

Agree with that. There are also 2 further problems for Klopp. Firstly, he can't replace him straight away. Secondly, the foreign owners may seek take out some of the huge fee for themselves.
 
Liverpool income 2021/22 £596 million. This deal is based on pure business income. 1/3 of income in 1 deal. You cannot turn it down. Klopp publicly will say no, but in the board room, he'll have zero say, and he'll know it. He's an employee. That's it. And too be honest, I won't be surprised if a Saudi club offer him a similar contract one day.

I see where you're coming from, but I don't think that 'Prem to Prem club' transfer fees command the same amounts.

No but if the Saudis get in on the buying of our bloody game they will be even more astronomical sums. And to think many people are living in abject poverty throughout the world. It totally all stinks.

Klopp has consistently found players who are below the level City have bought at, around £30-40m, and improved them to being world class.
With £200m he could bring in 4 or 5 players and cement them as City's nearest challengers until he leaves.

Ok the Saudi influence won’t effect anything. I give up.

It's certainly increased the values of players who are coming to the end of their careers; no way would Liverpool have received the fees they did for Henderson and Fabinho from European teams. Look at how much Chelsea have recouped from players they'd normally have struggled to offload.
My point was that Klopp identifies players who are kind of under the radar and who aren't at their peak yet, not the sort of players who the Saudi's are targeting.
