He was the subject of a failed £150million offer from Saudi club Al-Ittihad in the summer of 2023. As one of the most famous and popular figures in the Arab world, Salah would be a coup for the Saudi league, while the 32-year-old would likely command a sizeable salary.

Due to an ACL injury early into his £77.6 million move from PSG, the Brazilian legend only managed 428 minutes of action across 18 months. He earned a reported £84.6million in 2024, but has reported foregone a large chunk of the £52m remaining on his contract to make the move.
