The Saudi Pro League is reportedly prepared to finance a potential transfer for Mohamed Salah, should the Liverpool star decide to leave the club. Interest from the oil-rich nation in the Egyptian forward has been long-standing, with Liverpool famously rejecting a £150 million bid from Al-Ittihad in 2023. Last summer, the Saudi League also attempted to entice Salah with lucrative offers while he was in the final year of his previous contract with the Merseyside club.
The 33-year-old Salah re-signed a new two-year deal in April, but his form has dipped significantly since the start of the season, leading Arne Slot to drop him from the starting lineup for the last two matches.
This recent development has reignited hopes among key figures in Saudi football that another superstar, who already commands immense popularity and prestige in the Arab world, could join their league. Such a transfer would be comparable in significance to the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo. Consequently, the professional league is ready to finance the move, regardless of which specific team the Egyptian ultimately joins.
