This is so obvious that repeating the same answer becomes boring. As many people on the forum have stated on the Saudis will still bid a shitload for Salah next year. So no pressure, no worries.
They can get to fuck with the last day offer, it doesn’t work for us in any way and so why should we bend their desire?

sort of agree but they might think there are higher bids to come or similar bids over the next 2 windows
Because he's worth at least double that for Saudi league to have a Muslim superstar.
Assuming that's still our model, that would *need* to be invested now ... so unless we have 1/2 defenders AND an attacking talent ready to sign etc, FUCK THAT.
Even if we had lined up replacements as you say, no one would sell them to us as it’s too late so it doesn’t matter.
HOLD THE LINE!
It's possible we have said no to this initial bid with the purpose of finding quick and worthy replacements and hopefully a new CB knowing a 2nd bid is imminent. All so we don't get fleeced by purchasing new players so late in window. Or maybe it's none of this and I couldn't give a flying fuck!
He's exactly where we should be focusing. He has the most overinflated value considering his age, his contract length, and the fact that he's declining physically.
I think 7th.
Would love to know what the add ons were
He’s our talisman and pivotal to our identity on and off the pitch.
Oh god, we're really fucked when at the end of next season when he's gone then, especially with no money to replace him and all his magical properties.
There is no price at this stage of the window that makes sense to sell. None.
We have plenty of money, cleary.
What's this "we" shit, says John Henry.
The pro league is the 7th. The lower leagues in Saudi are the. 20th
Let's not get carried away. He's a very good player who scores a lot of our goals. Without him, those goals don't disappear - they just get distributed elsewhere. I appreciate it may take the team some time to adjust, but we're in a period of transition anyway. And we're pretty well-stocked up front. I think we could make it work.
It also strikes me as a very targets plan to completely derail Klopp and us.
Newcastle owners?
As much as I don't want to sell him, every player has a price. If they offered £250m (for a 31 year old), we'd simply have to sell (heck, he could pull his hammy next week!), as that would fund a complete squad rebuild. And let's face it, whilst he's world class, he's past his peak.
Yep.
Let's go and win the cup treble now. Salah will end up as our topscorer as usual.
His value and reputation inflates.
We then sell him to the Arabs for 200M.
Everyone lives happily ever after.

So just imagine how satisfying it would be if we used it to our advantage and built a championship-winning squad with it.
Oh, and if we win AFCON, add another 50M to his value.
