There will have been some apprehension among Liverpool fans today. It’s the penultimate day of the Saudi Pro League transfer window, and given the amount of money swirling around the league, it’s not implausible that Al Ittihad made one last, desperate effort to sign Mohamed Salah.
Although the Reds have currently retained the Egyptian, it is safe to predict that rumors and stories about him will persist throughout 2023–2024. In January and most likely next summer, Al Ittihad will return for Salah.
The conclusion of this tale, at least for the time being, allows Jürgen Klopp to plan how to lead his team through the remaining seven games until the next break.
The Reds have had a strong start to the season, but their ability to achieve their objectives will undoubtedly be influenced by how their opponents fare. Here, Liverpool.com scans the other major clubs in the Premier League and around Europe to see what news is circulating there.
Former teammate and Lionel Messi may work together again.
It remains to be seen whether Saudi Arabian teams have permanently altered the face of football, but they haven’t yet signed every superstar. Lionel Messi, the greatest player of all time, just decided to relocate to the MLS and has, naturally, taken the league by storm.
Even if his league lacks the enormous financial support, his presence will undoubtedly draw other prominent professionals to America.
Liverpool’s uniform features purple for the first time since the 2018–19 campaign. The third kit, which follows the legendary Red and is a reproduction of a 1996/1996 classic, has a purple ripple design with black collarbone inserts, side paneling, and sleeve cuffs, as well as matching shorts and purple ripple socks.

All the motivation they require comes from his prior statements that he would like to complete his career there. At Barcelona, Griezmann and Messi shared the field 85 times and combined for 12 goals. They can end up playing their last games on opposing teams.
Although this change wouldn’t immediately affect Liverpool, the growing number of “retirement” leagues throughout the world may have an impact on their team, according to Liverpool.com.
In an effort to objectively assess the worth of football players from all around the world, the CIES Football Observatory has developed a model. According to their most recent update, which was reported by TBR Football, Sandro Tonali of Newcastle and Mohamed Salah are among a group of players valued at $64.2 million (£51.5 million/€60 million).
Al Ittihad was apparently willing to pay more than twice that amount, so it’s understandable why they believed their financial offer would make Liverpool abandon its chase of the Egyptian.
Using a model to determine a player’s worth is one thing, but see how you do by asking a Liverpool fan if they would trade Salah and Tonali. You should, in our opinion, be ready for a very harsh answer.
