On Thursday evening, the Saudi Arabia transfer window will close, and the relief among Liverpool’s fanbase will likely be palpable.
Despite heavy interest from Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad, it seems like Mo Salah will remain with Liverpool this summer. It was all quite insulting, in Ian Wright’s opinion.
Well, while those rumors circulate on Thursday, the athlete seems to be chilling out at home and watching “Vikings,” as seen by a photo he sent to his Instagram story.
Therefore, Liverpool supporters need not worry too much, as he is likely simply relaxing at home with some TV and rest after helping the Reds defeat Aston Villa on Sunday (unless he is boarding a trip somewhere right now to the Middle East).
The 31-year-old’s decision to remain with the club is huge for not just Liverpool supporters but also Jurgen Klopp and his efforts to revive the club. Today, Ben Jacobs tweeted his thoughts on the future of Salah.
They want to go back to the big time after failing to qualify for Champions League last season and maybe fight for the championship again, and that means having one of the Premier League’s top players tearing down the right side.

Is Mo Salah leaving Liverpool after this season?
Given Salah’s widespread popularity in the Arab world, where he is held in near-heroic esteem, his impending departure from Liverpool seems a foregone conclusion.
Fans may hope he stays through the summer of 2019, but if a huge payday comes in 2024, they will have to accept it and move on.
And unlike Al-Ittihad’s late move to push for him now, Liverpool will likely be better prepared since they will see it coming.
