Mohamed Salah IS likely to leave Liverpool this week as Saudi club Al-Ittihad prepare a huge offer, claims ex-Premier League star Jan Aage Fjortoft

Mohamed Salah is likely to leave Liverpool ahead of this week’s transfer deadline, according to former Premier League midfielder Jan Aage Fjortoft.

As recently reported by Mail Sport, the Reds do not want to sell superstar Salah despite Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad registering a strong interest in him.

News of the shock pursuit broke last week but the links were publicly waved away by Jurgen Klopp ahead of his side’s victory at Newcastle last weekend.

However, this has not stopped the reigning Saudi Arabian champions from attempting to lure Salah and make him the highest-paid player in the country. 

And in a social media post on Wednesday, Fjortoft, formerly of Middlesbrough and Sheffield United, further stoked the speculation with a bombshell claim.

‘I understand it’s likely that Salah will leave Liverpool this week,’ he wrote on Twitter.
