Liverpool has been encouraged by Mohamed Salah's decision to sign a new contract, but that does not seem to have killed that
Mohamed Salah will not go to Saudi Arabia this summer after he has committed his future to Liverpool – but the Minister of Sport of the Nation has hinted that the Egyptian superstar remains a future target for clubs in the Saudi Pro League.
Salah, who is thought to have a link from admirers in the Middle East, was the subject of a failed £ 150 million from Al-Eittihad in the summer of 2023. And the 32-year-old was again recommended throughout the season while he and the Reds went back and forth in negotiations about a new contract.
The first as Roma -man is now rewarded for his sparkling form with a Bumper New Deal. But Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al -Faisal has suggested that Saudi has not yet given up the hope of signing him one day – even if the competition now focuses on younger talent.
“I mean, he is a superstar,” said Al-Faisal reporters from Salah prior to the Saudi-Arab Grand Prix this weekend.
“He is an iconic Arabic Muslim. He fits in with the identity of playing in the Saudi competition. It was his decision to renew, but to connect Saudi to him and everything … Think of day 1 that they link Saudi to him. There were no discussions. But it is good to have that.
“Now you can see that every player wants to renew his contract or their, she wants to sign [the media] Saying that they come to Saudi and most 90% of them are not true. But I think we have a strategy that we are working on and everyone says we only sign players. “
Salah and Liverpool may come after the Premier League title – although Arsenal's victory on Ipswich means that they have to wait at least a week to be crowned – but a flurry of transfer activity is still expected in Anfield this summer.

And although it has now been confirmed that Salah will stay with the Reds after the end of the 2024-25 campaign, the club apparently set their sights on a player who could be his successor in Bryan Mbuemo in the long term.
According to the sun, Liverpool are among a number of clubs that have seen Mbuemo for Brentford shine this year.
It is said that the striker, who has 18 Premier League goals to his name this season, could be available for around £ 50 million this summer, since he only has a year about his contract, although the bees have an option to extend the deal by another 12 months.
