Saudi Arabia has quickly become a league to watch, having acquired numerous stars from Europe. Although only a few clubs have top players, they will continue to accelerate their investment in the sport, backed by oil money.
The Saudi Professional League is interested in Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian international who produces not only goals but also assists for Liverpool, and has been trying to acquire him since last summer. And a huge offer is expected to arrive this summer.
Fabrizio Romano shared an update on the Egyptian King’s departure, saying that the Middle Eastern club will test the waters again, but that he is happy at Anfield.
“In the final week of August, from what I’m hearing, they from Saudi sent the proposal which was around £100m plus add-ons which was around a £150m package for Mo Salah.”
“It was massive money and Liverpool decided to say no together with the player to continue together for one more season.”
“From Saudi, the interest is still there. They will try again, they want to try again. At the moment there is no discussion with Liverpool or with Mo as they know they are 100% focused on this season.”
“So let’s see what happens in the summer in terms of proposal and negotiations. I’m sure Saudi will try again for Mo Salah but I’m also sure that Mo is very happy in Liverpool.”
“So I think it’s going to be important to see what Liverpool present to Mo Salah in terms of project.”
