The Salah Deal: The Chances of the Saudi Pro League Landing Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah is once again at the top of the list of targets by Saudi Pro League clubs.
SPL director of football Michael Emenalo recently indicated that only the ‘highest quality talent’ will be considered in the winter transfer window. Mohamed Salah certainly qualifies as a highly-rated talent in world football.
Making a deal in the middle of the season is likely to be complicated at the very least. The Anfield club would not be willing to lose their priced asset in the middle of what is shaping to be a title-challenging season.
All indications from Anfield show that Mohamed Salah is happy in Jurgen Klopp’s side. The Egyptian has scored 10 goals so far this season. Only Manchester City’s Erling Haaland has scored more in the Premier League with 13.
Liverpool are doing well in the title race compared to this stage last season. With the help of Salah’s attacking potency, Liverpool have collected 27 points from 12 matches and sit second on the table, a point behind leaders Manchester City.
It is the second consecutive transfer window that Salah’s name will be in the transfer rumor mill in the Middle East. The amount of effort the Saudi Pro League chiefs will make to land their man remains to be seen.
