The Saudi Pro League are ready to give up on signing Mo Salah despite being prepared to pay £200million for the Egyptian, with many senior executives in the Gulf state conceding defeat due to the Reds’ steadfast stance.
Al-Ittihad made a bid of £150m for the forward last Thursday and have remained in talks with Liverpool since Saturday, when the Saudi Pro League sent a delegate to London.
Despite several verbal plays to tempt the Premier League club, the Reds have thus far held firm.
