Football clubs in Saudi Arabia doubt that they will be able to sign Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah, reports journalist Ben Jacobs.
According to the source, Saudis have not resumed active negotiations with Salah and have not made a new offer after Liverpool refused to sell Mohamed to Al-Ittihad for £150 million last summer.
Saudis are pessimistic about their chances of luring Salah and suspect that the Egypt international will remain in Europe, even if he leaves Liverpool.
Therefore, at this moment, Saudis are focused on other transfer targets. At the same time, Liverpool feels optimistic about continuing cooperation with Salah, for whom negotiations over a new contract are a priority, despite tempting options on the side.
