Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah to reject Saudis in favour of surprising European stay

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is reportedly ready to reject a lucrative move to the Saudi Pro League in favour of a surprising stay in Europe.

Salah announced in March he will leave the Merseyside club this summer after agreeing to end his contract a year early.

The 33-year-old looked to have played his last game for Liverpool when he came off during Saturday’s 3-1 win against Crystal Palace.

But the club have confirmed his injury is not as serious as first feared, which suggests he will feature again before the end of the season.

Salah is tipped to move to the Middle East this summer to play in the Pro League.

But it emerges the Egyptian star could join Turkish giants Fenerbahce, who have positioned themselves at the front of the queue for his signature.

According to A Spor, the Super Lig club have already held two meetings with Salah’s agent over a potential summer move.

The forward reportedly expects an annual salary worth €20 million and wants to continue his career in Europe.

Fernerbahce is one of the most successful and widely supported clubs in Turkey.

They have won Super Lig 19 times since its inception in 1959, but they are on course to lose the title race to Galatasaray this season.

Fenerbahce are seven points behind the Lions with five games remaining.
