The index believes that any Saudi club would be far overpaying for the Liverpool man is worth no more than £51.5 million – the same figure it places on Tonali’s head.
Eddie Howe paid £55 million for Tonali’s services from AC Milan and it has looked like a shrewd investment in the early weeks of the season with other Premier League sides forking out over £100 million for defensive midfielders.
No doubt the age difference between the two players goes a long way to their valuation. At 31, Salah is leaving the prime of his career whereas 23-year-old Tonali still has years of improvement to build on an already impressive skill set.
