Despite the addition of Karim Benzema, the Al-Ittihad Club Board of Directors is still interested in Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah. They gave Salah an incredibly appealing offer to get him to move to Saudi Arabia to play football.
Salah is Liverpool’s main striker and has been with the club since 2017.He just renewed his contract with Liverpool last summer and is now under contract till 2025. Salah appeared in all 38 Premier League games last season.In these 38 games, he scored 19 goals and assisted on 12 others.
Salah is highly regarded by the Al-Ittihad Board of Directors as a player capable of scoring more than 20 goals per season.That’s why a Saudi Arabian official recently offered him a three-year contract with a clause that permits the 31-year-old Egyptian striker to “pocket” up to 65 million pounds per season.
The issue with Al-Ittihad is that Liverpool’s board of directors refuses to sell Salah.Salah’s reaction to Al-Ittihad’s offer is unknown, but if the parties work together, he will be paid around 1.25 million pounds each week.It is important to note that this is a salary, not a bonus.
According to Independent journalist Ben Jacobs, Al-Ittihad’s board has told Salah that if he “shakes hands” with them, he will earn more money than superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.The reason for this is that, in addition to a fixed wage, Salah is eligible for incentives and a plethora of lucrative advertising contracts in Saudi Arabia.
To understand the attraction of the offer that BLD Al-Ittihad gave to Salah, we should realize that Ronaldo is paid an exceptionally “huge” salary of 173 million pounds per year at Al Nassr. As a result, he receives a weekly transfer of £3.4 million. With the BLD Al-Ittihad agreed to pay Salah “only” £1.25 million per week, the amount of bonuses and promotion for him in Saudi Arabia must be massive in order for him to earn more than CR7.
