Mohamed Salah Exit: Sky Sports Reveal Saudi Pro League Priority

Liverpool are heading towards a defining summer as Mohamed Salah prepares to leave Anfield, with Sky Sports reporting renewed Saudi Pro League interest in the Egyptian forward.

Salah has long been regarded as the headline target for Saudi football, given his global status, elite output and profile across the Middle East. After failed attempts to prise him away from Liverpool in previous windows, the situation has now changed significantly.

In 2023, Liverpool rejected an offer worth up to £150 million from Al-Ittihad. At that stage, the club had control, Salah was under contract and there was no appetite to sell one of their greatest modern players.

This time, Liverpool’s position is weaker. Salah is set to depart on a free transfer, meaning Arne Slot’s side cannot demand a fee or block a move if the player chooses Saudi Arabia.

Saudi Pro League make Salah priority

Sky Sports reporter Kaveh Solhekol has outlined the latest position, making clear that Salah remains central to Saudi Pro League plans.

“What’s happening in Saudi Arabia is that the funds are in place for a big Saudi club to sign Mohamed Salah this summer,” the reporter said.

“He is the priority target for the Saudi Pro League. We know three years ago that Al-Ittihad tried to sign him for £150 million. Why would a Saudi club not try and sign him now on a free transfer?”

That final line captures the logic behind the move. Salah’s availability without a transfer fee makes him even more attractive to Saudi clubs, who have already brought Cristiano Ronaldo, and to the Gulf.
