Report: Saudi Pro League Move For Salah ‘expected to go through”
The Saudi Pro League has been making headlines for its daring endeavors as it attempts to become a global football superpower.
The league’s titans aren’t taking their eyes off of another gem after successfully luring worldwide giants like Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, and Karim Benzema to the Middle East: Mohamed Salah of Liverpool.
Salah’s Trip to Anfield
For Liverpool FC, Mohamed Salah—dubbed the Egyptian King by the Anfield faithful—has been nothing short of extraordinary.
His exceptional footwork, unparalleled speed, and deadly finishing have elevated him to a legendary status in Merseyside’s red area.
In just 11 games across all competitions this season, Salah has already tallied eight goals and four assists.
Given that he has a contract that keeps him at Liverpool through June 2025, his dedication to the team is clear.
However, as reported by Football Insider, the winds of change might be blowing. The allure of the Saudi Pro League is proving to be a tantalising prospect for many, and Salah is no exception.
The Saudi Perspective
The goal of the Saudi Pro League is evident.
Their objective is to improve the league’s standing internationally by acquiring superstars from around the world.
Salah was previously considered a top target by influential Saudi footballer Hafez Al-Medlej back in June.
One of the major teams in the league, Al-Ittihad, even put forth a bid for the Liverpool star during the most recent summer transfer window.
While Liverpool managed to fend off interest and retain their star man, the allure of the Saudi Pro League remains.
The league’s officials are working diligently behind the scenes, and a move for Salah next year is “expected to go through,” as per sources close to Football Insider.
The Saudi Connection of Liverpool
Not just Salah has drawn interest from Saudi teams.
Two of Liverpool’s mainstays, Jordan Henderson and Fabinho, have just moved to the Middle East to play for Al Ettifaq and Al-Ittihad, respectively.
If Salah does indeed leave, it would be a huge setback for Liverpool and manager Jurgen Klopp.
Beyond just his goals and assists, the Egyptian player has been a key figure in the team’s recent success.
Financial Consequences
Salah is the best paid player at Liverpool in terms of income, reportedly making £350,000 a week.
With its reputation for having strong financial backing, the Saudi Pro League might be able to propose a deal that is even more lucrative, which would add even more mystery to this developing story.
The Path Forward
For the time being, Salah is still dazzling Anfield, much to the joy of Liverpool supporters.
But the murmurs from the Middle East will intensify as the next transfer window draws near. When it comes to Salah’s future, only time will tell.
