talkSPORT understands Al Ittihad are willing to go higher to try and change Liverpool's mind.
Though that offer may happen after the close of the English transfer window, with the Saudi Pro League window open until September 7.
Salah, who has netted 187 goals in 307 appearances for the club since 2017, has two years left on his current deal.
The club has maintained they don't want to sell the ex-Chelsea forward, with Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp doubling down on that narrative in his press conference on Friday.

"The position remains the same, absolutely," he said. "There’s no doubt about that.
"He cannot go, that’s how it is. So there’s nothing else to say.”
When asked whether an offer had been submitted, the German replied: “Not as far as I know but that doesn’t mean lot, to be honest.”
talkSPORT also understands that should Liverpool accept a bid for Salah from Al Ittihad, he would earn around as much as Al Nassr's Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Saudi club, managed by former Wolves and Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo, are expected to return again next summer should a deal not materialise this time.
Liverpool have already seen three players leave Anfield for the Middle East this summer - Fabinho, now former captain Jordan Henderson and Roberto Firmino.
Meanwhile, the Reds have made three signing during the transfer window, recruiting Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis Mac Allister, Wataru Endo.
