Mo Salah's Saudi Pro League admission, £150million offer, Al Hilal interest in Liverpool star

Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool is wavering and if the ‘Egyptian King’ does depart Anfield this summer, his next destination looks likely to be Saudi Arabia. Despite Arne Slot unexpectedly filling Jurgen Klopp’s boots with apparent ease and the Reds sat atop both the Premier League and Champions League tables, the expiration of three first-team stars’ contracts painfully lingers.
Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold have not agreed on new deals and will all leave the club in the summer as it stands. While the Dutch defender seems likely to remain on Merseyside, and Alexander-Arnold’s choice looks to be between hometown glory and the bright, white lights of Real Madrid, for Salah, the Saudi Pro League has always been viewed as the next logical step.
The Middle East would promise Salah a contract that simply couldn’t be matched by his current employers. Saudi chiefs made their intentions clear during the summer of 2023 - and their desire to draw him away from the Premier League remains as strong as ever.
Reigning champions Al-Hilal have recently emerged as the top candidate to secure his signature should he make the switch - and a recent transfer revelation may ramp up such efforts. The team’s current star player is Brazilian icon Neymar. However, after a lengthy absence through injury and considering a clear desire to depart, negotiations between the 32-year-old and Eastern Conference MLS outfit Chicago Fire have reportedly begun.
