Arne Slot’s Liverpool have led the Premier League table for most of the season and are favorites to win the league.
The main reason why they are favorites to win the league is Mohamed Salah’s form this season.
The Egyptian striker has scored 18 goals in La Liga this season along with 13 assists in 20 appearances for the Reds, showing the best form of his career and becoming one of the best players in the world in the process.
However, there are doubts over his future at the club with Salah entering the final six months of his contract at Anfield.
Salah’s agent has been in contact with Paris Saint-Germain for a move in the summer transfer window, but now a new candidate has emerged to sign the prolific Liverpool striker.
According to the journalist Gianluigi LongariLiverpool’s Salah could move to the Saudi Pro League to join Al-Hilal and he has confirmed that both sides are involved in dialogue.
Longari wrote to X: “Al Hilal Club is in a ‘very advanced’ state of negotiations with Mohamed Salah ahead of next season.
“Nothing definite, but well-established dialogues.”
🇸🇦 Club Al Hilal is in a “very advanced” state of negotiations with Mohamed #Salah before next season. Nothing definite, but well-structured dialogues. #LFC

Will Mo Salah leave Liverpool for Al-Hilal?
The Saudi outfit have confirmed that Neymar will not be part of their squad for the second half of the season, making it clear that the Brazilian has no future at the club.
They are now looking to replace Neymar with the signing of Salah, who may even have a bigger impact than the Brazilian due to his current form and situation in the game.
As for Liverpool, they have left it too late to keep their star player at the club and their talks with the Saudi outfit appear to be progressing well.
It depends on what the Reds want to do and whether they are willing to accept the terms that Salah is asking for.
