Egyptian international Mohamed Salah, Liverpool's star, has sparked widespread controversy about his future ahead of the winter transfer window, following his recent remarks hinting at his dissatisfaction with his current situation at Anfield.

Liverpool's board of directors is expected to hold a meeting with Salah's agent soon to decide his future, especially after his criticism of Dutch coach Arne Slot for being benched in three consecutive matches.

In terms of transfers, the Saudi clubs Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad are leading the race to sign the player, as the Saudi League Association considers the deal a potential major strategic move to strengthen the local league's competitiveness.

Sources confirmed to CaughtOffside that the Saudi offers could reach between 80 and 100 million euros, including bonuses and a release clause to finalize the deal, making them the highest valued compared to American interest.

MLS clubs are struggling to match the financial offers from Saudi Arabia, despite their strong desire to sign the Egyptian winger, who could add significant value to any team he joins.

Liverpool faces two clear options: either reintegrate Salah into Klopp's plans and keep him until the end of the season, or take advantage of the huge offer in January and move quickly to find a suitable replacement.

With Salah's public frustration and pressure from the Saudi clubs, the chances of his departure from the Reds increased during the winter, especially after he admitted to a tense relationship with coach Klopp and felt compelled to leave.
