His decision could reshape the Reds’ season as the transfer window closes.
Saudi clubs have been snapping up Europe’s elite with staggering contracts, but this Liverpool hero turned down the riches, choosing Anfield, loyalty, and legacy over fortune.
Sources suggest FSG viewed £52m as smart business at this stage of his career, yet the player refused to leave. His stand has already sent a strong message inside the dressing room: Liverpool won’t be stripped by Saudi money, they remain driven by ambition and unity.
The timing is crucial. Losing him now would have left Klopp scrambling, but his choice secures stability and boosts Liverpool’s title push.
For the fans, it’s a rare act of loyalty in modern football — proof that some players still choose the badge over the bank.
The Saudis came calling. He said no.
