Al-Ittihad want Mohamed Salah, getting him might be a different story, but after the Liverpool star turned down an offer to go to the Saudi Pro League, Marcelo Gallardo’s side is willing to make one final push for the legendary striker.

According to The Sun, the Saudi club hope to recruit Liverpool’s former sports director Julian Ward. Ward could be the final piece in trying to get Salah to the Saudi Pro League although the Reds striker is not showing signs he is ready to leave the big time.

Mohamed Salah has 10 goals in 13 games in the Premier League this season, which makes Al-Ittihad chances slim if they are only banking on a former executive to convince Salah.
