Saudi Pro League champs Al-Ittihad ‘want to raid Liverpool in TRIPLE-transfer swoop’ including Mohamed Salah • Repithwin News

AL-ITTIHAD are trying to raid Liverpool for a THIRD player.

The Saudi big-spenders are already chasing Mo Salah – offering the Egyptian a five-year £100m-a-season deal.

Then it emerged they were also eyeing up defender Joe Gomez.

But now, reports in France suggest they want Ibrahima Konate too.

But RMC journalist Fabrice Hawkins adds the French centre-half is not looking to leave Liverpool.

Red stars Jordan Henderson and Fabinho have already jetted off to the Gulf state to join Al-Ettifaq and Al-Ittihad respectively.

While Brazillian forward Roberto Firmino moved to Al-Ahli at the end of his contract.

And Jurgen Klopp must now fear losing more players before the Saudi transfer deadline on September 7th.

Liverpool would not be able to replace them, with the UK’s window closing on Friday night.

Konate, 24, arrived at Anfield from Bundesliga giants RB Leipzig in 2021.

Since his debut, he has gone on to make 55 appearances for Klopp’s side – but has been struggling with injury during his time for the Reds.

But he did play a starring role in France’s march to the World Cup final in December.

Konate has three years remaining on his contract with the Merseyside outfit and it would take a massive offer to tempt the Red to sell.

Rumours persist that Salah, 31, is tempted to move but Liverpool will fight tooth and nail to keep him.

Klopp is furious the uncertainty surrounding his players will extend beyond the end of the domestic window.

He said: “Pretty much the worst thing I think is that the transfer window in Saudi Arabia is open for longer.

“If I am right, I heard something like that, then at least in Europe that’s not helpful. UEFA or FIFA must find solutions for that.”
