Al Ittihad want to make another offer for Mohamed Salah before the Saudi Pro League window closes on Thursday.

Senior figures at the club believe it is worth making one more try to sign Salah, but others are advising they should give up until next summer.

Any new offer would need to be approved first by the SPL through interim chief executive Saad Al Lazeez and director of football Michael Emenalo.

Liverpool rejected a verbal offer for Salah worth up to £150 million from Al Ittihad on Thursday.

Liverpool’s position has not changed; Salah is not for sale.

Klopp’s take

Jurgen Klopp says he has no doubts over Mohamed Salah’s future amid interest from Saudi Arabia after the Liverpool forward scored in their 3-0 home win over Aston Villa.

Salah shrugged off transfer speculation to hit Liverpool’s third in the victory as Al Ittihad considered whether to make an improved offer for the 31-year-old after having had a £150m bid rejected by the Reds on Friday.

Speaking after Sunday’s 3-0 won over Aston Villa, Jurgen Klopp said: “I never had any doubts about his commitment to this club. You can’t imagine how much fuss the world has made but how calm we are with it. He is our player, and he wants to play here.”

The SPL window closes at 10pm UK time on Thursday.

While Klopp and Liverpool remain adamant Salah is not for sale, Sky Sports News understands the Saudi club is getting encouragement in ‘certain quarters’ a deal can still be done.

While Al Ittihad feel they have that encouragement, they will try again.
