Salah can make quite more than that if he goes into politics in Egypt.
Thereās only one reason the Saudis have left this until the final day of the transfer window and that is to disrupt Kloppās plans for the season. Weāre a threat to Al-Newcastleās top four chances.

Which in itself is quite embarrassing to say.
Please donāt let this be another āAndy Carrollā day.

Weāre not only a threat to their top 4 chances, weāre massive favourites to get it ahead of them. We just played them, at their stadium, with our captain sent off and 1-0 down after 30 minutes. We still won.
Newcastle donāt have the firepower to get themselves into the top 4 ahead of us. They havenāt done enough this window because their owners have been focused on getting all the players over to Saudi.

Donāt need to cross your fingers. He isnāt leaving today.
Saudi have had months to agree a deal. Why wait until transfer deadline day for a formal bid - oh yeah itās all PR stunting and destabilising tactics - and our fans keep getting worked up by it all.

I agree, thatās why I believe itās a deliberate attempt to destabilise our plans.

Yeah, Iām also still of the opinion that heās staying. Could happen next summer.
But thereās always a small % before the window in Saudi closes.
So even the made up rumours say he wonāt push for a move.
The club will get a fair whack for him next summer if he moves anyhow.

And that gives us a year to scout/groom his replacement, without everyone knowing we have Ā£100m+ in the bank from his sale.

Exactly.
Anyhow this will be every deadline day if you fold today.

I remember Carra saying that the Mo interest from Newcastles owners was suspicious before the Newcastle game. Was shut down and said āother channels are better for conspiracy theorists but not usā - us being SKY SPORTS.
I think he was right

Lets leave the grooming to Epstein
Letās be clear: Mo is of paramount importance for us right now. At the end of the season, maybe the club will have to assess its options if big offers come in. But right now, heās crucial because he scores goals, he makes an insane amount of assists, is always involved in our attacking moves, and also because his influence on the younger players canāt be emphasised enough. Heās a model pro, and conducts himself as weād want every Liverpool player to do. We have lost Milner and Firmino already, who gave a similar example. To now lose our absolute top player, even for a lot of money, would really be a bad signal.
Although every player, even Mo, has a price, as others have said, itās too late now. If the Saudis were serious about Mo, theyād have tried earlier. So, this is nothing but an attempt to destabilise Mo and the club, and Iām glad that both sides have seen through it, and dismissed it at hand.

Not going to lie - am secretly hoping that we can challenge for the title but not possible without Salah. But I think we can secure Top4 and challenge for all the other three competitions without him.
Weād be stupid not to accept if they offer ā¬200m (Ā£170m) imo.

Just keep him for the season and demand that much again next summer.

I think the only deal iād go for is Al-Ittihad sign Mbappe, then swap us Mbappe for Mo next season.
Seems fair?
