Liverpool's home game against Aston Villa was somewhat overshadowed by the news that top striker Salah had received a "huge" offer from Al Ittihad Club (Saudi Arabia). According to The Sun , Egypt coach Rui Vitoria even allowed Salah to return late after the match, a move that is believed to facilitate "blockbuster" negotiations with Saudi Arabia.
Salah scores the winning goal for Liverpool against Aston Villa
In the match on the evening of September 3, the Egyptian star striker made a strong impression to help Liverpool defeat Aston Villa. After Dominik Szoboszlai opened the scoring in the 3rd minute for the "Red Devils", Salah was the one who initiated the attack that caused Matty Cash (Aston Villa) to score an own goal in the 22nd minute.
Aston Villa have proven themselves to be a tough side to beat under Unai Emery. However, as the visitors began to attack, Salah snuffed out any hope with a close-range finish early in the second half from Darwin Nunez's assist to seal a 3-0 win.
Salah's brilliant performance will certainly make Liverpool's board consider even though Al Ittihad Club has offered a transfer fee of up to 150 million euros for this striker. That fee will set a new transfer record in the history of Saudi Arabian football (if the deal is completed), surpassing the record of Neymar from PSG to Al Hilal (more than 90 million euros) on August 15.
Salah (number 11) is still an indispensable factor in Liverpool's attack.
Salah has been directly involved in at least one goal in each of his last 10 Premier League appearances (scoring 5 goals and providing 7 assists). Therefore, coach Jurgen Klopp certainly does not want to lose the 31-year-old striker who has won the Premier League's "Top Scorer" award 3 times. Salah's talent has helped Liverpool maintain an unbeaten record this season (3 wins, 1 draw), 2 points behind the leader Man City.
