Mo Salah was the subject of major interest from Saudi Arabia last summer
When Liverpool made the decision to keep hold of Mohamed Salah last summer in the face of serious interest from Saudi Arabia they were preserving their interests on and off the pitch.
But former Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp didn’t want his talisman to leave, and owners Fenway Sports Group didn’t need too much convincing that rejecting the advances of Al-Ittihad, despite the huge sums on offer, was in the best interests of the football club. There was also the commercial impact that Salah has, a player with the kind of global appeal unlike any other in the Liverpool squad, and very few in world football.
Liverpool have plenty of stars but are faced with the prospect of losing one of those given the reported interest in Luis Diaz from Barcelona. But when it comes to superstars they truly have one, and that is Salah. He is not only one of the most recognisable footballers in the world, he is one of the most recognisable athletes across sports.
