Mohamed Salah’s Journey to the Saudi Pro League Might be Derailed Due to His High-Performance Levels This Season
As one of the best players to ever lace the boots from the Arab region, Mohamed Salah is coveted by the top Saudi Pro League clubs. Liverpool reportedly rejected a $ 189 million offer from Al-Ittihad last summer. With the Egyptian captain turning 31 this year, observers faulted the Merseyside club for failing to accept the bid and spending the funds on younger replacements.
However, Salah has shown that he’s not slowing down. He’s currently the joint-top scorer in the English Premier League with 14 goals and the joint-top assist maker with 8 assists. His contributions have been instrumental in getting Liverpool to the top of the Premier League.
Salah will be remaining with only 12 months on his Liverpool contract, and given his performance, the club is likely to be open to offering him a contract extension. While he would have been open to making the switch last summer when his team was faltering, Salah might not have the same desire to leave, given their resurgence this season.
WIth his former Liverpool teammates Jordan Henderson and Roberto Firminho reportedly unhappy with the crowd sizes in the Saudi Pro League, they might influence him to remain at Anfield, where the average attendance exceeds 50,000.
