Saudi representatives are said to have flown in to London in one last attempt to land the Egyptian before the Saudi Pro League transfer window closes on Thursday.
The news outlet further reports that Salah has been tempted by their offer of £2.45 million (R59 million) a week, a large percentage of shirt sales, a £55 000 (R1.3 million) win bonus, and ambassadorial roles for at least three major Saudi companies during the duration of his stay with them.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, meanwhile, has insisted that Salah remains committed to the Reds.
"Mo is super committed, really in training fully there. And in the leadership meetings this week he was fully in," the manager said.
