Saudi struggle to sign Mohamed Salah

Saudi Pro League clubs have stepped up their efforts to sign Mohamed Salah, with growing optimism that the Egyptian captain could move to the Kingdom in the summer. Salah has already confirmed he will leave Liverpool at the end of the season on a free transfer, closing a remarkable nine‑year spell at Anfield that brought eight major trophies and two hundred fifty‑six goals.

According to TEAMtalk, five Saudi teams are now in the race, with interest rising among the country’s biggest clubs. While Salah remains focused on helping Liverpool secure a top‑five Premier League finish, his agent is working on identifying his next destination. Al‑Hilal, Al‑Nassr, Al‑Ittihad and Al‑Ahli, all backed by the Public Investment Fund, are pursuing him, while Al‑Qadisiyah have emerged as a new contender under coach Brendan Rodgers. Saudi authorities view signing Salah as a key step in their long‑term football project ahead of hosting the 2034 World Cup.
