Al Ittihad has reportedly already contacted two Premier League players and is looking to add a center-back to their roster in addition to bringing in Mohamed Salah from Liverpool.
This summer, the Saudi Pro League team has already done well by signing free agents Karim Benzema and N’Golo Kante after their contracts expired.
Along with Celtic star Jota and Moroccan forward Abderrazak Hamdallah, Nuno Espirito Santo’s team also acquired Fabinho from Liverpool for approximately £40 million.
This season, they have won all four of their Saudi Pro League games to date, including a convincing 3-0 victory over Al Riyadh on Thursday.
Salah has been linked to moves in recent weeks, and the Daily Mail reports that the Saudi Pro League club will not give up on the Egyptian despite Liverpool’s insistence that he is not for sale.
New information suggests that they may now raid Manchester United or Arsenal to find their next recruit.
Al Ittihad said, “Identify the next target after Salah.”.
Al Ittihad are planning a €150 million bid for Salah before the window closes, claims CBS Sports writer James Benge.
Benge further asserts that Nuno’s team is looking to add a star center-back and has already reached out to players at Manchester United and Arsenal as their top targets.
They will co-host and are reportedly planning to have a significant impact at the Club World Cup in December.
According to reports, the players in question—Gabriel Magalhaes and Raphael Varane—have already been contacted by Al Ittihad.
And even though they haven’t moved forward with either deal, as the transfer window closes, they might try something new.
The former PSG and Real Madrid star Sergio Ramos, who became a free agent after leaving Parc des Princes in July, is also a player of interest, according to CBS Sports.
The five-time Champions League champion had discussions with Besiktas earlier this month, but the Turkish club publicly announced that they would not be signing him due to “financial disagreements.”.
Joe Gomez, a defender for Liverpool who came off the bench in Sunday’s 2-1 victory over Newcastle due to Virgil van Dijk’s dismissal, has also been linked to a move to Al Ittihad.
