The anticipated transfer of Egyptian football sensation Mohamed Salah from English club Liverpool to the Saudi Arabian league is at risk of collapsing during the current winter transfer window.
Mohamed Salah had been on the brink of joining the Saudi club Al-Ittihad during the previous summer transfer window, backed by a substantial financial offer.
However, Liverpool staunchly refused to part with their premier goal-scorer.
Despite Liverpool’s resistance last summer, hope persisted within Saudi league clubs to secure Salah’s services.
Several media reports indicated that the “Pharaoh” remains a top priority for the Saudi league.
As reported by the Saudi newspaper “Al-Sharq Al-Awsat,” citing its sources, the recruitment committee of the Saudi Professional League is currently unwilling to finance any major deals for the top four clubs during the ongoing winter transfer window.
The newspaper further added that any domestic or international transfers initiated by the clubs will have to be self-funded or supported by golden members or the club’s revenues.
All these transactions require approval from the recruitment committee, making the prospect of Salah’s move to the Saudi league in the current winter transfer market a challenging endeavor.
The unfolding situation raises questions about the feasibility of Mohamed Salah making a mid-season shift to the Kingdom’s league.
Football enthusiasts and club supporters await further developments, keenly observing whether the hurdles can be overcome, and if Salah’s potential move to the Saudi league will come to fruition in the current transfer window.
