The Saudi Aarabia minister of sport has hinted that Mohamed Salah remains a future target for the League despite his recent renewal in Liverpool.
Salah, 32, is one of the greatest players of Liverpool of all time, in which the Egyptian scored a remarkable 243 goals in 396 games for the club since he came to Roma in 2017 for an initial reimbursement of £ 36.5 million.
The attacker has won eight trophies in Anfield and remains an integral part on the side of Arne Slot while they close for the Premier League title.
Salah's previous contract would expire in the summer and speculation about his future was an important point of conversation during the campaign, in which the attacker regularly gave cryptic answers when he was questioned about his future.
Earlier this month, however, the club confirmed that he had put pen on paper on a new deal until 2027 worth £ 380,000 a week, which ended the dramatic Saga.
The Saudi Pro League has long been recommended the next step of the attacker after he was the subject of a failed £ 150 million from Al-Eittihad in 2023.
And although the competition can concentrate on young players, Minister of Sportsprins Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal has suggested that they can still move to Salah in the future.
Speaking for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Sunday, Al-Faisal told reporters: “I mean, he is a superstar.
“He is an iconic Arabic Muslim. He fits the identity of playing in the Saudi competition. It was his decision to renew with, but Saudi to him and connect everything … think of day 1 that they link Saudi to him. There were no discussions. But it's 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 percent of them are not true.
“But I think we have a strategy that we are working on and everyone says we only sign players.”
It has been an excellent season for Salah, who has contributed this season with 27 goals and 18 assists in the Premier League so far, with Liverpool now one victory removed from sealing the Premier League title after their 1-0 win in Leicester on Sunday.
Salah expressed his joy to stay in Liverpool after extending his contract
'Of course I am very excited. We now have a great team. Before that we also had a great team. But I signed because I think we have the chance to win other trophies and enjoy my football, “he told the club website.
“It's great, I've had my best years here. I played eight years, hopefully it will be 10. Enjoy my life here, enjoying my football. I had the best years in my career.
“I would like to say [the fans]I am very, very happy to be here. I signed here because I believe we can win many big trophies together. Keep supporting us and we give it our best, and hopefully we will win more trophies in the future. '
