Saudi Club Al-Ittihad Pursuing Liverpool's Mohamed Salah

Saudi club Al-Ittihad has shown interest in signing Moussa Diaby and made attempts to sign Liverpool star Mohamed Salah on a one-year loan deal for an 'astronomical' amount, efforts that were ultimately unsuccessful. Al-Ittihad's pursuit of Diaby, who recently joined Aston Villa, aligns with their strategy to Frenchify the club, which already includes compatriots N'Golo Kanté and Karim Benzema. Despite Al-Ittihad's interest and significant financial offer, Liverpool has declined to release Salah, highlighting the club's commitment to retaining the Egyptian forward, whose contract extends until 2025.
