Al Ittihad are still pursuing Liverpool star Mohamed Salah this summer, according to a new report, and have a 'plan B' set up to complete the transfer.
The Reds promptly turned down the offer, but reports claimed that the league was willing to return with a bid of over £200 million to signBut with the clock ticking down on the Saudi Arabian transfer window - it closes at 10pm on Thursday -
Al Ittihad believe they will likely not be signing Salah this summer, due to the amount of time needed to complete a deal.However, new reports suggest that the pursuit of the 31-year-old winger is far from over. And an ambitious 'plan B' to secure his signing has now been revealed., Al Ittihad are determined to revisit their attempts to sign Salah if a deal does not go through before Thursday's transfer deadline.
Sources close to Al Ittihad are said to believe it is too late to strike a deal, but will move to 'plan B' - to launch further bids for Salah in the upcoming windows. As a result, it appears that Nuno Espirito Santo's side will not be deterred to sign Salah, and may even increase their £200 million proposal. If such a proposal were to be accepted by Liverpool further down the line, the Egyptian would become the most expensive player in the history of football.
