Mohamed Salah was described by a Saudi professional chief as a “top” transfer destination in the country, although the superstar struggle has committed his future to Liverpool.
Salah recently ended speculations about a possible exit in Liverpool for months by signing a new two -year contract by 2027.
He will be 35 years old when his New Deal runs in Anfield, with Saudi football already positioning itself as the goal for the Egyptian superstar.
“We are interested in all international players. Captain Mohamed Salah is definitely at the top of this list, and we look forward to having him in Saudi Arabia” Channel one. “God wants to be with one of the Saudi clubs at the right time.”
Al Eissa also claimed that “most players want to play in the kingdom”, which does not appear to be entirely representative for the situation.
The captain of Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes, is not expected that he will be moved with a reported contract proposal worth 1 million GBP per week, while Kevin de Bruyne in the USA is more likely to get into the Major League Soccer when he is to leave Europe. Christian Eriksen is different who, despite connections to Saudi Arabia in Europe, prioritized in Europe.
As a Muslim player who comes from the region of the Middle East, Salah was understandably a particularly attractive goal for the Saudi Pro league.
Michael Emenalo, the former Technical Director of Chelsea, who is now acting as sports director of the Saudi League, has previously confirmed that this was an approach for Salah in 2023.
“The stories that our teams left after him were true, it is true, there was an interest,” Emenalo said last year in John Obi Mikel’s podcast.
“It is okay for me to be interested in signing Mo, but [Liverpool] I have to be interested in letting him go, and if these things are not aligned, you have no deal.
“Basically, Liverpool didn’t want to sell and at what price were we ready to buy? I didn’t feel that the player was ready to come because he felt that he was unfinished.” “
