Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah has been linked with a move away from the club this summer.
According to a report by TEAMtalkclubs in Saudi Arabia are growing in confidence and hope to sign the 31-year-old next summer.
The Egypt international will be a free agent next summer and has yet to sign an extension with the club. Salah has been a key player for Liverpool since joining the club from Roma and has helped them win every trophy at club level. Losing him would be a huge blow for Liverpool and it remains to be seen if they can adequately replace him.
The Egypt international scored 25 goals and collected 14 assists in all competitions last season and Saudi clubs were willing to pay £150m for him last summer. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can convince the player to sign a new deal with them.
Saudi clubs want to sign Mohamed Salah in a bargain
Given his contractual situation, clubs in Saudi Arabia will be hoping to lure him on a free transfer.
The report claims that this could be the Egyptian’s last season with Liverpool and clubs in Saudi Arabia are already working to secure his services.
Furthermore, the report claims that Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad is one of the main candidates to sign the player. However, they will also face competition from Al-hilal, Al-Nassr and Al-Ahli. The Egyptian is expected to earn a handsome salary if he moves to the Saudi Pro League.
The Saudi Arabian clubs have been in contact with the player and his representatives for two years and it remains to be seen whether they can execute the move in the coming months.
Salah will be able to secure a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs once the January transfer window opens and it will be interesting to see if he decides to call time on his illustrious Premier League career.
