Saudi Pro League side Al-Ittihad tried to sign a Premier League flop after missing out on Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah, according to reports.<\/p>\n
Al-Ittihad were desperate to land Salah and had a \u00a3150m bid rejected by Liverpool before the Saudi Arabian transfer window closed on Thursday.<\/p>\n
It was thought that they were ready to significantly increase their offer for the 31-year-old to an eye-watering \u00a3215m but Salah ended up staying with the Reds.<\/p>\n
It has now been revealed by The Telegraph that Al-Ittihad attempted to bring in Richarlison from Tottenham after failing to sign the Egypt international.<\/p>\n
Spurs striker Richarlison has hugely struggled since moving to north London last summer, with the forward registering just eight goal involvements in 40 games.<\/p>\n
Richarlison\u2019s poor form has now spilled onto the international stage too with the 26-year-old spotted in tears on Brazil\u2019s bench after he failed to score during their World Cup qualifier against Bolivia on Friday evening.<\/p>\n
That did not stop Al-Ittihad from trying to sign him \u2013 with the Saudi club holding a round of talks through intermediaries \u2013 but they could not get a deal over the line for the former Everton star before their transfer window closed.<\/p>\n
It is believed that Al-Ittihad\u00a0will not give up on Salah and will make another attempt when the Saudi transfer window reopens.<\/p>\n
Liverpool, though, are adamant that Salah will not be sold for any price and want to keep one of the best players in world football at Anfield.<\/p>\n
Jamie Carragher expects Salah to leave Liverpool but suggests that next summer is the best time for all parties to make the move.<\/p>\n
