Liverpool made a big decision. He turned down a whopping 150 million pounds (about 266 billion won) in transfer fees.
England's The Mirror said on the 7th (Korea time) 'Mohamed Salah's contract in Liverpool expires in July next year. Liverpool new sports director Richard Hughes explained the club's stance on Salah, reports said.
The outlet explained that it has ruled out a sale this summer if Mohamed Salah does not re-sign with Liverpool.
Liverpool's new sports director, Richarz Hughes, made it clear, and his interview was cited by the media.
The media entered the final 12 months of his contract with Liverpool, 'Sala. Liverpool are reportedly persuading Salah to remain at Anfield after 2025' Liverpool's key players, captain Virgil van Dijk and vice-captain Trent Alexander-Arnold, are also in the final year of their contracts. Liverpool are trying to keep them all.
However, Liverpool refuses to give further details, the media reported.
The Mirror said 'Riverpool does not want to provide an update on the progress of contract negotiations. If reports of Salah's renewal continue, we believe it will only interfere with the new manager Arne Slot taking the helm of Liverpool.

It guarantees astronomical transfer fees and salaries. In several interviews with local British media, Salah said 'I have no intention of going to Saudi Arabia'
However, Saudi oil money does not give up. In particular, RT Hard, one of the four teams strongly supported by the Saudi sovereign wealth fund, offered a whopping 150 million pounds (W266 billion) in transfer fees.
In addition, he promised to pay the highest salary. At this point, the highest salary in the Saudi league is Cristiano Ronaldo, who signed Al Nasr in 2023. It costs 3.34 million pounds (about 5.9 billion won) per week.
There's a reason why Saudi Arabia is so obsessed with Salah. His skills are still among the best in the world. He is the league's top winger this season along with Bukayo Saka, Phil Foden and Son Heung-min.
In addition, hailing from Egypt, he is the best soccer superstar in Islam. From the Saudi perspective, it has strong marketing effects as well as global skills.
Liverpool's relationship with Salah is not the same as it used to be. Salah formed a very close relationship with manager Jurgen Klopp. However, Liverpool appointed Arne Slot as Klopp's next head coach. Moreover, Liverpool's financial situation is not smooth. Salah cannot meet the level of contract terms he wants. However, Liverpool is refusing the astronomical transfer fee for now. He is treating the club as a legend.
