However, with Jurgen Klopp reluctant to sanction a sale for his star-man, and rightfully so given his 18 objectives throughout all competitions this season to this point, Liverpool rebuffed the supply as they regarded to maintain maintain of the Egyptian king for the present season.

But the truth that he’s the No 1 Muslim footballer on the planet would make him much more treasured within the nation that’s the cradle of Islam. That’s why I’d be amazed if Saudis do not nonetheless have designs on Liverpool’s No 11.
“I get that supporters are curious about workforce sheets reasonably than stability sheets. But the individuals who run Liverpool have sharp business minds and they’re going to weigh up the worth of any participant to the membership and measure it in opposition to his worth within the switch market earlier than performing accordingly.
