Al-Hilal's billion euro bid for Kylian Mbappe is already being viewed as something akin to the scene in Anchorman where a baffled Ron Burgundy reflects on a tête-à-tête that swiftly got out of hand. Such players don't tend to come with €150 million price tags. However, CBS Sports sources say that the funds on offer this summer may not be replicated in 2024.Īfterall, by then Salah will be 32 years old with 12 months left to run on his contract.
THAT ESCALATED QUICKLY PRO
It is certainly true that one of the highest profile Muslim footballers in the world will always be wanted in the Pro League. There are those on Merseyside who believe that the club's robust stance has been informed partly by the knowledge that the money will be there for him next year. Liverpool's insistence throughout the Salah saga has been that their best player is not for sale. It is not just Al-Ittihad who find themselves at a fork in the road. If another club were to, for instance, win the Asian Champions League they could expect the same level of prioritization that Nuno's men have got this summer. There are, however, no guarantees that it will be for Al-Ittihad.
Should they fail to do so the Pro League and PIF will still push to secure Salah next summer. There is determination within the Saudi Pro League to use that tournament to sell the league as well as a burgeoning desire to be the first team from outside Europe and South America to have a claim to the title of the best team in the world.Ī 10-man delegation - including representatives from Al-Ittihad, the state sovereign wealth fund and the ministries of sport and tourism - travelled from Saudi Arabia to London late last week have been pushing to find a breakthrough with Liverpool. Of the four Saudi clubs owned by PIF, Al-Ittihad have been given something of a priority in the final weeks of the window because of the looming Club World Cup in Jeddah, where Nuno Espirito Santo's side will represent the host nation. It seems inevitable that it will, not least because Al-Ittihad know that this summer might be the last where they are in pole position to secure the 31-year-old. It has since been suggested that a €200 million bid is imminent, but a formal proposal is yet to land on Liverpool's desk. That proposal was understood to have constituted around €100 million in guaranteed money with a further €60 million in add-ons, a significant proportion of which were viewed as unlikely to convey. On Friday Liverpool confirmed that they had rejected the major offer for his services that CBS Sports had first revealed earlier that week. There is no such quick win in the pursuit of Salah.
