Al Ittihad, a Saudi Arabian team, is holding out hope that Mo Salah would return.

When it becomes obvious in January if the Reds are still in the championship fight, the club will determine whether to make another mega-money attempt to pry the Egyptian away from Liverpool.

After rejecting an offer from Al Ittihad that would have netted them £100 million plus another £50 million in add-ons, Anfield executives slammed the door shut on Salah leaving the club over the week.

The 31-year-old was offered £1.5 million a week to become the Pro League’s third “poster boy,” joining Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar.
Despite rumors that the Saudis were prepared to increase their offer by another £50 million, Liverpool maintained their position that Salah was not for sale.

Middle Eastern sources, however, insist that Al Ittihad will resume its pursuit of Liverpool’s players as soon as the transfer window reopens in the new year, with the belief that Liverpool will be more amenable to offers if the club fails to capitalize on its strong start to the Premier League season.
Liverpool wasted £100 million by finishing fifth last season and missing out on the Champions League for the first time in seven years.

Manager Jurgen Klopp has been given financial support from the club’s American owners, who have spent about £150 million on players including Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch, and Wataru Endo. And in the first 12 games of the season, the Reds have already accumulated 10 points.

Inside the club, there is genuine faith that Klopp’s squad can once again become the most formidable adversaries to Manchester City, the current champions. Salah has been in tremendous form despite all the talk about his future.
In order to be in a position to compete for the championship next year, Al Ittihad knows that Liverpool’s stance on Salah is unlikely to soften.

Liverpool’s owners may reevaluate their plan to cash in on their best player, Mohamed Salah, while he still has 18 months remaining on his contract.
