Liverpool star player Mohamed Salah has made the news after his agent could be in controversy for breaking a Saudi Arabian rule. While multiple clubs were interested in getting the Egyptian’s signature in the summer transfer window, he stayed at Liverpool. However, it is alleged that Salah’s agent has pitted clubs against each other to increase his wage demands.

Such practices are ironically prohibited in the Saudi Pro League, highlighting the essence of goodwill over competitiveness. It could severe Salah’s chances of ever moving to Saudi. Further, harming his global image and reputation. He also risks being ‘blacklisted’ by several clubs hence not being a part of their plans.

Despite being one of the most famous Muslim footballers in the world, Salah has always respected his contract with Liverpool. But, if in future Salah wants to move to the Saudi Pro League then he and his agent must be really careful while laying out the demands. Lately, SPL has had a mass uproar of European players going there to play. Hence, a move could be on the plate but the recent reports suggest Salah and his agent might have fumbled the bag.

Al-Ittihad offered him a staggering £127 million per year contract. Which would have made him the league’s highest-paid player. Even surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo in earnings through the league.

According to Ronald Koeman, Liverpool’s January signing, Cody Gakpo, is set to blossom in his career at Anfield. Gakpo, 24, has faced challenges since joining Liverpool, particularly in the opening four Premier League matches. However, Koeman believes that Gakpo’s youth and talent will help him adapt to the intensity of the Premier League over time.

“You must understand that Gakpo is still a young player,” Koeman, who managed Gakpo at PSV, stated. He believes that the 24-year-old needs time to adjust to the intensity of the Premier League. He also stated how Liverpool wasn’t using Gakpo to his strengths as they had deployed the attacker in their midfield.

As Gakpo adjusts to the Premier League, Liverpool fans can look forward to his continued growth and contributions to the team’s success. Ronald Koeman‘s belief in the young Dutchman’s potential is a testament to the talent Liverpool saw in him when they brought him to Anfield. Also, it’s a sentiment shared by many who have witnessed his abilities on the pitch.
