Mohamed Salah to Al-Ittihad Would be the Biggest Move of the Summer
Rumors of a move for Mohamed Salah to the Saudi Pro League, specifically to Al-Ittihad, have gathered pace recently as we barrel toward the closure of the SPL transfer window on 7th September.
If this move can be realized, it will be the biggest coup for this fashion of the SPL for several reasons. Salah is still in the prime of his powers, at just 31 years of age.
While getting Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar were mega and transformative deals, both players did not face any resistance from their respective clubs when making the jump from Europe to the SPL. Salah’s case is different, Liverpool are gearing up for a title charge with Mohamed Salah as their main man.
Crucially, Mohamed Salah is the most famous Arab in the world of football. His iconic standing in the Arab world makes his move to the Saudi Pro League significantly more impactful than any move so far.
As we bear down on transfer deadline day, the move for Mohamed Salah, Liverpool’s response to these links, and the amount of money involved if the deal happens are important aspects to keep an eye on.
One thing is for sure: we haven’t heard the last of the links of Salah to the Saudi Pro League.
