Mohamed Salah, who continues to deliver fantastic goals and games for Liverpool despite now only having a few months left on his deal. Nothing is certain, but for a long time it seemed that he would extend, so that it would be Saudi Arabia, which will make the Egyptian star the highest-paid player of all time. (More than Cristiano Ronaldo’s €200 million annual salary) – And then Paris Saint-Germain are said to have entered the game with a very good salary offer.
A post on Facebook from Asharq Al-Awsat has sparked new rumors about Saudi Arabia that many thought were out of the dance.
Liverpool, who lead the Premier League by a wide margin, are in action again on Saturday at the Gtech Community Stadium in an away meeting against Brentford.
It must be a bit nice for Saudi Arabia to not be the world’s worst country anymore, they are safely placed in the top four, but no longer top Sporten.com their expert panel’s list of crappy countries.
About two weeks ago, The Athletic reported that the star is on the verge of extending his current contract by two years, although a deal is still a long way off. Just a few days before that, the protagonist said that a new deal was unlikely to be in the offing.
“We’re a long way from that,” he told Sky Sports.
For a long time, Saudi clubs have been interested in Mohamed Salah, and those rumours are not going away. According to Asharq Al-Awsat, Al-Hilal are negotiating a contract with the winger, and he is seen as the dream name to replace Neymar, whose contract expires in the summer. Al-Hilal is one of the clubs supported by the state PIF fund.
In addition, Turki Alalshikh, who is an adviser to the Saudi court, has posted a picture of Salah wearing an Al-Hilal shirt and the picture has led to speculation.
😎🙃🤷🏻 ♂️ « », writes (!) Alalshikh in the post on Facebook.
In this context, it is worth noting that Turki Alalshikh has a great influence on sports and cultural life in Saudi Arabia through his chairmanship of the state-owned General Entertainment Authority. For example, the advisor sat next to Cristiano Ronaldo when Anthony Joshua and Otto Wallin met in the boxing ring in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in December 2023.
It doesn’t end there.
The other day, Relevo stated that the Saudis are not worried about the reports that Salah is about to extend his contract with Liverpool. The Spanish website also wrote “he will be the big signing in Saudi Arabia next season”.
