The Guardian claimed that the Saudi side made an official approach to sign Salah for a fee worth \u00a3150m – \u00a3100m up front and then another \u00a350m in add-ons. However, Gordon led negotiations and politely declined the offer in a phone call held between the two sets of officials.<\/p>\n
Gordon rejected the proposal and Liverpool considered the matter closed on transfer deadline day, though Saudi teams did have a week remaining to make further acquisitions – but they were unable to persuade Gordon to part ways with Salah.<\/p>\n

Don’t miss… <\/strong> With Salah already into his thirties, some club officials may have been tempted to cash in and use the colossal transfer fee to reinvest in the squad. However, Gordon stood with Klopp and insisted that there was no chance that Salah was going to leave Liverpool in the summer.<\/p>\n Now they are getting their rewards for that decision, with the Reds flying and hoping to rekindle their rivalry with Manchester City at the top of the table. It is difficult to imagine that Liverpool could mount a title challenge without Salah though – precisely why Gordon and co were so keen to keep him at Anfield.<\/p>\n But it is unlikely that Saudi interest will dissipate after Gordon\u2019s rejection, as they are said to be ready to return in January or next summer and Liverpool will be posed another tough question once again over how highly they value their key man. But for now they will be delighted that Salah is here for the time being though.<\/p>\n The 23\/24 home shirt for Liverpool pays homage to the past of the club, as well as collaborator Nike, with a strong 1970s influence. The iconic red, capped with bold white cuffs and collar really does invoke that classic Liverpool FC style while adding a cool retro touch<\/p>\n
