The Egyptian FA have given Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah the coming week off.

Salah is in Rui Vitoria's squad for the Africa Cup of Nations dead rubber qualifier at home to Ethiopia on Friday. But Salah has been told he can take the week off and report back in time for the September 12 friendly against Tunisia, says The Sun.

It's suggested Egypt have given Salah the break so he can consider a life-changing three-year €200m contract offer from Al-Ittihad.

The Saudis had a £150m offer for Salah rejected last week, but things could change should the striker demand the move.

The Saudi transfer window will remain open this week.
