Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is set to remain at the center of speculation until his future at Anfield is resolved. His current contract is due to expire at the end of the season, leaving uncertainty about his next move.
Adding fuel to the rumors, Saudi chief Turki Al Alshikh, chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, sparked a stir on Wednesday by sharing a mocked-up image of Salah in an Al-Hilal jersey to his 15 million Facebook followers. While this doesn’t confirm any imminent transfer, it highlights the Saudi Pro League’s ongoing interest in the Liverpool superstar. Securing Salah, who is arguably among the world’s best players right now, would be a monumental statement for the league as it seeks to enhance its global profile.
Despite the speculation, Liverpool remains in active discussions to extend Salah’s contract, a prospect that aligns better with the Egyptian’s current career trajectory as he continues to perform at his peak.
Al Alshikh previously claimed that Salah had agreed to a Saudi move last year before Liverpool blocked the transfer. “He was going to accept, but Liverpool changed their mind at the last second,” Al Alshikh revealed in an interview on The MMA Hour.
Liverpool.com Verdict: While a move to the Saudi Pro League may make sense for Salah later in his career, a transfer at this stage would be premature. With his immense talent and current form, Salah’s focus should remain on competing at the highest levels for at least the next three to four years. Moving now would only limit his potential and impact on the global stage.
