The Saudi Pro League’s relentless pursuit of Liverpool star Mohamed Salah shows no signs of abating, with the league eyeing the summer of 2025 as a prime opportunity to secure his signature. Despite not landing the Egyptian forward this summer, the Saudi elite remains hopeful about his potential transfer.
In a recent interview with the Telegraph, Michael Emenalo, the president of the Saudi Pro League, candidly discussed their ambitions regarding Salah.
“Signing Mohamed Salah next summer would be easier,” Emenalo admitted, hinting at a more favorable scenario once Salah’s current contract with Liverpool FC concludes.
Salah, who hails from Nagrig, Egypt, has been a pivotal figure for Liverpool, known for his exceptional scoring ability and playmaking skills.
He is currently valued at €65 million by Transfermarkt and earns an annual salary of €20.8 million.
His contract with Liverpool is set to expire on June 30, 2025, making him a prime target for a lucrative move.
As the 2026 World Cup qualifiers approach, Salah remains a key player for the Egyptian national team.
Selected by tactician Hossam Hassan, Salah is set to compete in the upcoming matches against Burkina Faso and Guinea-Bissau, showcasing his enduring value on the international stage.
The prospect of Salah joining the Saudi Pro League would not only be a significant coup for the league but also a testament to its growing influence and financial clout.
As one of the most marketable and talented players in the world, Salah’s potential move could herald a new era for football in the region, attracting more top-tier talent and increasing the league’s global profile.
For now, Salah’s focus remains on his commitments with Liverpool and the Egyptian national team.
However, the allure of a high-profile transfer to Saudi Arabia continues to loom large, promising an intriguing future for one of football’s brightest stars.
