According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, despite no offers for Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, clubs from Saudi Arabia remain interested in the star player. Salah, aged 32, is set to see his contract with Liverpool expire on June 30, 2025.
Reports on Salah’s future at Liverpool have been limited. The Egypt international was reportedly close to moving to Saudi Arabia last summer, with Al-Ittihad showing strong interest. A significant offer of over $200 million was allegedly made by the Saudi Pro League club for the right-winger, but Liverpool declined to sell him. Despite talks between Salah’s representatives and Liverpool, no agreement was reached. It is anticipated that Saudi Arabian clubs may come forward for Salah once again this summer, but the situation has been notably quiet thus far.
Fabrizio Romano Confirms Saudi Clubs Maintain Interest in Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah
Liverpool supporters view the lack of activity as a positive sign, suggesting that Saudi clubs may have cooled their pursuit of their star player. Romano confirmed that no formal offer has been received by Liverpool for Salah, but cautioned that Saudi clubs are still keen on acquiring him.
In a report for CaughtOffside, Romano stated, “Despite the ongoing speculation, there have been no developments in Mo Salah’s situation. It remains quiet, with no changes from the Saudi clubs. While there has been interest since last summer, Liverpool has not received any offers or approaches at this point. I cannot confirm or guarantee Salah’s departure to Saudi this summer.”
With Jurgen Klopp departing, Liverpool is entering a new era with Arne Slot at the helm. With various changes expected in the coming weeks, the situation may become chaotic. Should Salah stay with Liverpool, he could provide stability for Slot to build his attacking strategy around. Additionally, Salah’s experience could be valuable in guiding new players and maintaining order within the team.
Liverpool’s pre-season will commence with a match against Real Betis in the United States on July 26. As Salah is not participating in any international competitions this summer, he is expected to be present for the start of pre-season training.
