After extending at Liverpool before the last summer transfer window, Mohamed Salah could soon leave the English club. Former suitors are returning to the charge for the Egypt star.

After an exceptional 2024-25 campaign, Mohamed Salah, then out of contract, convinced Liverpool to offer him two additional years. A choice that is not proving worthwhile, as the Egyptian winger's start to the season has been very poor and he is gradually losing his starting place. A few months after extending his English adventure, the 33-year-old player could already leave the Premier League.

Indeed, the British press claim that Liverpool are seriously considering turning the page definitively with their glorious legend. Despite his poor form, Mohamed Salah remains a world-class player and retains superb stock in the transfer market, especially in Saudi Arabia. According to information from talkSPORT, Al-Hilal and Al-Qadsiah still dream of signing Mohamed Salah.

Saudi temptation returns for Salah

Recruiting Mohamed Salah is clearly the Saudi league's objective. Huge proposals have already been made to the winger, who has always refused Middle Eastern interest. But with his current Liverpool situation, he could easily consider succumbing to the lucrative Saudi Pro League offers. Mohamed Salah would have the opportunity to become the world's best-paid player.

Whilst Mohamed Salah's departure is beginning to gain momentum, it remains to be seen when it would be confirmed. The Reds are already active in the market to find the Pharaoh's ideal successor, with several names for the post-Salah era emerging with a Premier League priority. A Mohamed Salah sale would constitute a major event at Liverpool, given how much the Egypt international (107 caps, 62 goals) has marked the English giants' history.
