      Salah is the subject of strong interest from Saudi champions Al-Ittihad, who have already bid £170million.
      Reports also claim that they could even bid as much as £200million to land the 31-year-old.
      Although Salah is said to have told Liverpool he wants the move, he currently remains at Anfield.
      However, Souness has now accused Salah of “flirting” with Al-Ittihad and admits the player wants the move.

      “Make no mistake, Salah is flirting with the Saudis,” Souness wrote in his Daily Mail column.
      “Neither he nor one of his representatives has come out and categorically said, ‘We do not want to go to Saudi Arabia at this time’.
      “If he wanted to stay, someone could have issued a statement to that effect.
      “He is toying with the idea, at the very least, and I think, deep down, he will feel he should go.”

      Salah has less than two years remaining on his Liverpool deal and will be 33 by the time it expires in 2025.
      His future is far from resolved, either, with the Saudi transfer window not closing until Thursday.
      For now, though, he remains a Liverpool player and could be involved against Aston Villa on Sunday.
      Jurgen Klopp will be hoping Salah can add to his goal and two assists from the first three matches this season. More

      Jamie Carragher accused by Gary Neville of ‘changing mind’ on Mo Salah transfer as he reveals what Liverpool should do

      by

      JAMIE CARRAGHER has been accused of “changing his mind” over the transfer of Mohamed Salah by Gary Neville. Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Ittihad launched a £150million bid on deadline day to try and capture the Egyptian, but it was rejected by Liverpool.

      It has also been reported that Al-Ittihad have since tabled a second bid worth £170million and they are willing to go as high as £200million to get a deal over the line.
      If a bid of £200million were to be accepted it would become a new world-record transfer fee, eclipsing the £198million spent on Neymar by PSG back in 2017.
      Liverpool legend Carragher has offered up his opinion on what he thinks his former club should do, but his mate and fellow pundit Neville has claimed that he’s changed his mind on the matter.
      Carragher previously stated that he thought Liverpool should have accepted the £150million offer for Salah, but he has since said they should hold out for the £200millon that could be available.

      Speaking on Sky Sports he said: “I want more money. I actually think, when you look at what [Harry] Kane went for, Mo Salah has got two years to go [on his contract].

      “For Liverpool to sell right now they are going to want more than what he’s worth.”
      He went on to say: “For any player, if that number just keeps going up and up and up, you can’t turn that down and that’s £200million.

      “I don’t think it will [happen] because it’s come so late. If it had come six weeks ago it was a toss of a coin. If that number gets too big you may have to get to January”

      The Premier League transfer window has now closed, but a deal could still be completed with the Saudi Arabian window open until September 7.
      A potential exit for Salah would now mean that The Reds couldn’t get in a replacement until at least January, which would make a deal even more difficult to negotiate.

      Jurgen Klopp is also said to be keen on keeping hold of his star man who has helped him win the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and League Cup during his time on Merseyside.
      But a big name move to Saudi Arabia wouldn’t be a surprise with huge stars from all over Europe already making the move to the Saudi Pro League this summer.
      Neymar, Ngolo Kante, Karim Benzema, Riyad Mahrez and Roberto Firmino are just a few who have made the switch to the Middle East. More

      TOTTENHAM have completed the £47.5million signing of Nottingham Forest star Brennan Johnson.But the Spurs new boy may face an awkward meeting when he comes face-to-face with new team-mate Richarlison.

      The Welsh forward, 22, has completed a stunning deadline day move to North London, penning a six-year deal in the process.
      Forest boss Steve Cooper paid tribute to Johnson, saying: “Whilst we’re obviously going to miss Brennan and the memories he’s given so many of us when he’s lit up The City Ground on the right wing, we’re extremely proud of him and we’re pleased that he’s got this move as he enters the next stage in his career.
      “Everyone knows how great he is on the pitch, but what many people don’t see is the kind, humble and genuine young man he is off it.  
      “He was always learning, always showed great humility and had a superb nature in the way he interacted with his team-mates and staff.

      “All credit must go to his family especially his mum and dad, Alison and David, who should be so proud of the incredible young man they have raised.
      “He will be missed by everyone, but he will always be a Red.”
      After joining Spurs, Johnson could first be forced to immediately repair his relationship with Richarlison following an on-field incident last season.
      It came in August 2022 when Tottenham beat Forest 2-0 at the City Ground thanks to a Harry Kane brace.

      But much of the post-match reaction focused on an altercation between Johnson and Richarlison.
      Spurs’ Brazilian attacker, 26, seemed to be mocking Forest late on in the game when he juggled the ball near the touchline.
      But Johnson was not in the mood for the South American’s antics.
      Moments later, he took Richarlison out with a late, aggressive challenge – receiving a yellow card for his troubles.
      Now, 12 months on from that incident, the pair are set to become team-mates in North London.
      Reacting to the clip – which re-emerged on social media as Johnson closed in on a move to Spurs – one person said: “Johnson and Richarlison have some bridge building ahead.”
      Another added: “Looking forward to the Richarlison x Brennan Johnson reunion.”
      And a third replied: “Johnson meeting Richarlison for the first time should be awkward.”
      Johnson registered 29 goals and 12 assists in 109 appearances for Forest.
      He has also racked up 19 caps for Wales, netting twice for his country.

      Meanwhile, Richarlison has contributed just four goals and four assists in 39 matches since arriving at Tottenham.
      Now set to become the main forward following the departure of Kane, he will be looking to improve on his record of one Premier League goal in 27 games. More

      Fuming Wolves fire parting shot at Matheus Nunes and slam his decision to go on strike after he joins Man City

      by

      WOLVES fired a parting blast at Manchester City bound midfielder Matheus Nunes and told their record £53million departure: We’re better off without you.The Brazilian could have left with the best wishes of the Molineux club after Wolves raked in a club record fee for the 25-year-old – including 10 per cent of any future sell-on profit City might make on him.

      However Nunes’ controversial decision to down tools and take strike action to try and force Wolves’ hand in the final week of the transfer window has left a sour taste at his former club.
      And Pep Guardiola’s new arrival can expect a frosty reception when he returns to Molineux later this month with City.
      Wolves’ Sporting director Matt Hobbs admitted:  “I was disappointed with how it ended, it wasn’t necessary the stance Matheus took.
      “We ended with a good resolution for everyone.

      “Matheus is a hugely talented player but would admit that last season he didn’t hit the heights he expected, but it was a tough season for the team, so maybe he wasn’t allowed to do that.”
      Privately Wolves are seething that Nunes felt the need to put a gun to their head by refusing to train, after they backed him and invested a club record fee to land him.
      They paid Sporting an initial £38million plus £4.2million in add-ons to give the Brazilian his big break in the Premier League and a chance to impress.
      However, despite scoring Wolves’ Goal of the Season in April with a scorching volley against Chelsea last season, it was the only time Nunes found the net in 41 appearances.

      Now, Wolves have banked a rapid £10million-plus-profit and leveraged a cut-price deal to land City midfielder Tommy Doyle on loan with an option to buy for a bargain £5million – around £10million less than might have been expected.
      Hobbs claims that bit of business has left Wolves stronger without Nunes.
      He said: “We’ve lost a player with a lot of potential, a lot of ability, but the situation has led to us bringing a greater number of players in to improve the squad and provide competition in the group. 
      “The players here want competition in training, so while we’ve lost a good player, it’s made us a more competitive and better squad overall.” More
