Former Liverpool striker Peter Crouch insists he could not begrudge Mohamed Salah if he wanted a move to Saudi Arabia after the club rejected multiple bids from Al-Ittihad this summer.
Salah was courted by the Middle East outfit towards the end of the window, with the club reportedly offering £215million for the Reds' star man, having already brought in players like Karim Benzema, N'Golo Kante and ex-Liverpool midfielder Fabinho.
Speculation over Salah's future balanced heavily on Liverpool, who were insistent that the player would not be sold so late in the window - and without time to replace him.
