Mohamed Salah is poised to redefine football’s financial landscape, with Saudi Pro League sides reportedly ready to offer him a deal that could eclipse Cristiano Ronaldo’s record €200m salary at Al-Nassr.
Salah, who joined Liverpool in 2017 and dazzled on his debut against Watford with a goal in a 3-3 draw, remains a dream target for the Saudi clubs. At 32, the Egyptian forward continues to shine, boasting 10 goals and six assists in just 12 games this season. Yet, uncertainty looms as his Anfield contract edges closer to its expiration next summer, and Salah himself hinted he feels “more out than in” regarding his future at the club.
Reports suggest Saudi officials see immense value in signing Salah, even with the “astronomical” wages needed to secure his services. His potential move on a free transfer could break records, underscoring the league’s ambition to cement its status as a football powerhouse.
For Liverpool fans, Salah’s looming departure could mark the end of an era, but for Saudi football, it could be the start of something monumental.
