Mohamed Salah could be facing a big decision this summer.
His contract with Liverpool is set to expire, and talks over an extension are still ongoing.
But there’s more to the story.
According to The Telegraph, officials from the Saudi Pro League believe Salah might seriously consider a move to the Middle East.
Salah has been offered an extension from Liverpool, but with the contract discussions still up in the air, there’s growing speculation about his next steps.
One senior insider shared, “While Salah is currently focused on Liverpool’s offer, there’s confidence a deal can be done when his contract expires at the end of June.”
Now, Al-Hilal, the Saudi club fresh off their title win, sees Salah as a prime target for their next phase of growth.
They’ve been eyeing him for a while and are hopeful to make him their marquee signing, especially with the Club World Cup coming up.
While many hoped the deal would happen before the tournament in June, that no longer seems likely.
Liverpool turned down a £150 million offer from Al-Ittihad last year, keeping Salah firmly in the Premier League.
But now, Salah, with 27 goals this season, is weighing his options.
The Egyptian forward is just one goal away from surpassing Sergio Agüero as the Premier League’s top non-English scorer.
But with his age and contract length being key points of discussion, it’s clear this decision won’t be rushed.
Liverpool, like with Virgil van Dijk, seems to be taking a cautious approach to extending Salah’s contract.
