Mohamed Salah: Saudi Interests Set to Peak As the Season Ends and Salah Mulls His Future at Anfield
Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah will be at the top of the football transfer speculation in the summer window as Liverpool prepares for life without Jurgen Klopp, who is stepping down at the end of the season.
The Saudi Pro League, which has tried to sign Salah in previous transfer windows, will be on alert as Salah mulls over his next move as the Merseysiders prepare for a change of manager.
The 31-year-old has entered the final year of his contract this summer. However, the Egyptian has not indicated that he wishes to leave, and Liverpool are not said to be planning to sell. The expectation is that the incoming sporting director will address the Mohamed Salah issue as he begins to work alongside the expected appointment to the managerial post, Arne Slot.
Salah’s spat with Jurgen Klopp during their 2-2 draw against West Ham United and the forward’s downturn in form has added fuel to the future surrounding his future at Anfield.
The powers at the Saudi Pro League will be ready to pounce if an opportunity presents itself. They greatly admire Mohamed Salah as a footballer and what he represents to the Arab world as one of the best footballers in the world.
A deal to take Salah to the Saudi Pro League to join Cristiano Ronaldo and other marquee names that moved to the league already will be a blockbuster one, and Liverpool are expected to play hardball and extract maximum value for an important player.
