Will Salah move to Saudi Arabia now that Klopp is leaving this summer? 

Jurgen Klopp announced this morning that he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season, sending shockwaves through the football community.

The German manager will exit the club after nine years in Merseyside, creating a massive void in the dugout and casting doubt over the future of Mohamed Salah. 

Al-Ittihad made a strong bid to sign Salah last summer. They made a £200 million offer to sign him, but Liverpool rejected their advances.

Klopp’s exit could weaken Salah’s ties to Liverpool. The former Mainz 05 and Borussia Dortmund manager created the structure that helped mould the forward into a Premier League titan. 

However, Klopp’s message is clear – Salah’s heart lies with Liverpool. The manager’s recent reaffirmation of Salah’s commitment suggests the player’s allegiance runs deeper than individual relationships. 

Salah’s blistering form this season shows a man invested in Liverpool’s success, not one looking for an escape route. The 31-year-old has bagged 14 league goals and created the most big chances (17).

But Al-Ittihad’s pursuit cannot be ignored despite Salah’s performances. Only a few footballers can resist the financial allure of the Middle East.

The prospect of becoming a legend in the budding Saudi Pro League is also attractive.

Salah, a Muslim player revered in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, could be a pioneer in Saudi Arabia’s footballing journey.

Ultimately, the decision is Salah’s to make. He faces a crossroads – will he choose legacy or riches?

Klopp’s absence will undoubtedly leave a gap, but it won’t erase the memories shared or the bond forged. 

Salah’s contract runs until 2025, giving Liverpool another summer to fight for his allegiance. 

Klopp’s successor will play a crucial role in shaping the club’s future and convincing Salah to remain in Merseyside beyond this season.

The Anfield faithful will be desperate to retain Salah’s services. It will be a devastating double blow if Salah follows Klopp on a different path.
