Saudi Pro League steps up pursuit of Egypt star Mohamed Salah

The Saudi Pro League is ramping up efforts to secure Mohamed Salah’s signature, with growing confidence that the Egyptian forward could make the switch in the upcoming summer transfer window.

According to the reports, Saudi football authorities have long earmarked Salah as a marquee target, viewing the Liverpool FC star as a global icon capable of elevating the league’s international profile.

His potential arrival is seen as a cornerstone in ongoing plans to expand the competition’s global reach and commercial appeal.

Sources indicate that Salah is open to the move, with the player reportedly intrigued by the opportunity to contribute to the league’s rapid growth. This ambition aligns with Saudi Arabia’s broader vision for football development.

Several top Saudi clubs are said to be in the race for his signature, including Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr, Al-Ittihad and Al-Ahli—all backed by the country’s Public Investment Fund. These sides are expected to compete fiercely in the coming months.

Reports have also highlighted the emergence of Al-Qadisiyah as a potential contender, with the club keen to land the forward should he depart Anfield at the end of the season.

Saudi officials are understood to be encouraged by the league’s recent growth and view the acquisition of a player of Salah’s stature as a pivotal step in further strengthening its global standing.
