Al Ittihad think Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool after having their offers turned down.
The Reds have already rejected a bid from the Saudi Arabian team that might have cost up to £150 million.
The deal included a base cost of £100 million and optional extras that could bring the total to £150 million.
The Saudis are certain that they will eventually acquire Mo Salah, according to Sky Sports News head reporter Kaveh Solhekol.
He is on their list of players they desire, but they respect Liverpool as well, so when word gets back that the player is not for sale, they will accept that, he claims.
They regard him as the cherry on top. For them, having the most well-known Arab athlete play in an Arab nation would be amazing. However, they think they might have to wait a bit longer to find him.
