Liverpool have rejected a verbal bid worth £150million for Mohamed Salah from Al Ittihad.
The Saudi Pro League side are expected to return with an improved offer worth £175m.
talkSPORT understands the first bid was structured as a £100m fee, plus £50m in add-ons.
The Reds maintain Salah is not for sale but the Public Investment Fund are willing to go even higher than £175m to get their man.
