A Liverpool legend has accused Mohamed Salah of "flirting with the Saudi" amid the interest from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad.
The Premier League giants reportedly already rejected a big bid from the Saudi Pro League side in the last week, but it seems the interest won't go away that easily.
Various reports claim that Al-Ittihad could yet make a world record bid for the Egyptian forward, as the transfer window only closes on 7 September 2023.

Former Reds star Graeme Souness says Salah is toying with the idea of moving to the Saudi Pro League.
"Make no mistake, Salah is flirting with the Saudis," the former Sky Sports pundit told the Daily Mail.
"Neither he nor one of his representatives has come out and categorically said, 'We do not want to go to Saudi Arabia at this time'. If he wanted to stay, someone could have issued a statement to that effect.
"He is toying with the idea, at the very least, and I think, deep down, he will feel he should go.
"The vast majority of Liverpool fans would be understandably aggrieved by that, though this is a sign of what lies ahead for the Premier League.
"The Saudis have infiltrated every level of British society in the last 50 years, so why not football?
"They are the big guys in the Middle East who play second fiddle to no one. They want big players, such as Salah, who will make people take notice of them.
"To them, the money is neither here nor there because they've got so much of it. If Saudi Arabia really wanted Salah, they could find a mechanism to buy Liverpool and transfer him the next day.
"Mark my words, this is a gravy train which has only just left the station and is a long way from its destination."
