Key Points

• Al-Ittihad stunned by Mo Salah's £34m contract request.

Egyptian superstar Mo Salah has demanded a £34million contract to join Al-Ittihad. Sala agreed to terminate his £400,000-a-week contract a year ago. His contract, which was signed in 2025, was to run until 2027, but it was terminated early due to differences with club officials.

Salah, who has been without a club since the end of June, has been reported to be linking up with new clubs. There was a time when it seemed certain that he would join Türkiye's Besiktas. The club offered him a contract worth approximately €20 million per year, including bonuses. But according to various reports, the deal fell apart due to excessive demands from Rame Abbas. Besiktas have now halted talks, giving Trabzonspor an opportunity. The team, which finished third in the Turkish Super Lig last season, have prepared an attractive package for the two-time African Footballer of the Year. According to reports, Salah will earn €17 million per year at Trabzon, which will also include a 20 to 25 percent share of jersey sales.

Although Turkish reports say the deal could be completed this week, talks are also ongoing with Saudi Arabia. It is reported by WinWin in Egypt that Ramey Abbas is in talks with Al-Ittihad for a lucrative deal. Last week Al-Ittihad were said to have gained the upper hand on their Turkish rivals for Salah's signature, and tried to seal a deal worth £21 million a year. But the deal for Sala will be much more than that. WinWin claims Sala's representatives are demanding €40 million (£34 million) per year plus commission for Sala's deal. It is also said that the team is using Salah Sadio Mane's contract at Al-Nassr as a benchmark, and are refusing to settle for less than that under any circumstances. Saudi officials are keen to make a deal for Salah, but they are refusing to go beyond the €25 million figure at the moment. This amount will be augmented by various bonuses, but it is not yet clear where Sala will travel next. Salah spent nine seasons at Anfield, winning two Premier League titles, the Champions League and numerous other team and individual accolades. His performances dropped in his final season, indicating that the superstar was no longer at his best. However, there are several teams in Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and MLS that would certainly like to sign him. Abbas is finally in his bidding war for Sala and at this time the agents are waiting for a reply from Saudi Arabia.

What will happen next

Sala is in talks with Al-Ittihad, but his potential contract is also being discussed with Besiktas and Trabzonspor. If the deal with Trabzonspor is successful, it will further strengthen their presence in the Turkish Super Lig. Meanwhile, talks are also ongoing with Saudi Arabia, making it unclear what Salah's next step will be.
