Mohamed Salah had already suffered harassment from Saudi Arabia at a time when he was experiencing great uncertainty at Liverpool and was close to leaving the Reds and Premier League. However, his spectacular finish to last season with decisive goals led the center forward to renew his contract. However, the technical decline of the team and the player has once again given Saudi Arabia an opportunity to reinforce its interest in signing the Egyptian.
According to reports in the Arab press, Liverpool will receive an extraordinary offer from the Saudi Pro League in January, worth around £150 million per year, even though he recently renewed his contract with Liverpool and became the highest-paid player in the club's history.
Although he has decided to stay at Liverpool for now, the offer remains open and the Saudi league would be willing to sign him "whenever he wants," including with tourism ambassador rights and future shareholding in a club. His form and the team's performance have not been at their best so far, which could pave the way for the club to consider trading him in 2026.
The contract would include a record salary, a role as tourism ambassador, and even the right to a stake in the club. Salah, who has been with Liverpool since 2017, has won every major title and renewed his contract in 2024 after contributing to 57 goals in 52 games. At 33, with inconsistent performance in 2025/26, the club may consider selling him in 2026 when his contract expires.
Which Saudi clubs want to buy Mohamed Salah?
Al-Ittihad: They were among the first to attempt the deal, a figure of around £150 million was cited as the offer.
Al-Hilal: Also appears to be very interested, with statements from the coach and Saudi sources indicating that they are prepared to make a significant offer. 150 million Saudi riyals per year for Salah, for a two-season deal.
Al-Ahli: Less often mentioned as the "frontrunner" in the race, but appears to be one of the viable clubs for a possible transfer of Salah.
