Saudi Arabian clubs looking to sign Liverpool star Mohamed Salah
Saudi Arabian officials are increasingly optimistic about their chances of luring Mohamed Salah away from Liverpool.
Known for his lightning pace, sharp movement, and impressive work rate, Salah has earned a reputation as one of the most dangerous forwards in the world. His technical skills, agility, and clinical finishing make him a constant threat in the attacking third, while his ability to create scoring opportunities for himself and his teammates further enhances his value.
Salah has made a significant impact at Liverpool, playing 351 games, scoring 213 goals, and providing 90 assists. His contributions have been crucial in the club’s success over the years, making him one of the most prolific players in Liverpool’s history.
On the international stage, Salah has also shined, representing Egypt in 96 matches and scoring 54 goals.
Last summer, Salah was the target of intense interest from Saudi Arabia, with Al-Ittihad making a staggering £150 million offer for the forward. However, Liverpool swiftly rejected the bid, as they were unwilling to part ways with Salah at that point.

Despite the rejection, Saudi Arabian clubs have not given up on their pursuit and have been laying the groundwork for a future move.
According to sources, this season is widely expected to be Salah’s last at Anfield. Saudi Arabian clubs are already strategizing to secure his services, with a plan to avoid spending big money this summer. Instead, they aim to negotiate a free-transfer deal that would take effect when Salah’s contract with Liverpool expires next year.
For the past two years, contacts between Salah and Saudi representatives have been ongoing, with efforts intensifying in recent months. In the weeks ahead, the Public Investment Fund (PIF), which is heavily involved in Saudi Arabia’s football ambitions, is set to fully concentrate on finalizing the negotiations with the former Roma star. An official proposal is reportedly in the works and will soon be presented to Salah, outlining the terms of the potential move.
If successful, the transfer would be a major coup for Saudi football, further elevating the profile of their domestic league. For Liverpool, losing Salah would mark the end of an era, but the club would need to prepare for life without one of their most iconic players.
The coming weeks will be crucial as negotiations continue, and the football world watches closely to see how this potential transfer saga unfolds.
