Mohamed Salah set for massive Saudi payday
Saudi Pro League clubs are ready to offer Liverpool star Mohamed Salah a very lucrative contract to move to the Middle East.
Mohamed Salah’s future remains one of the biggest talking points. While he did pen a new deal last summer, he could still end up leaving Liverpool ahead of next season. According to a report from The Mirror, Salah is all set to be offered the opportunity to be the new face of the Saudi league.
He currently earns £400,000-a-week at Liverpool, and clubs in the Middle East are ready to offer him a contract that will promise him triple his pay to bring an end to his nine-year-long stint at Anfield.
After things didn’t work out for him at Chelsea, he revived himself at AS Roma before joining Liverpool in the summer of 2017. He has only gone from strength to strength since then and has helped the Merseyside club dominate Europe.
Salah has won all major silverware during his time at the club. While he is already considered one of their greatest ever, things haven’t been that great for him under Arne Slot this season. The two don’t really share the best of relationships, and it even led to a rift.
Salah to finally move to the Middle East
He gave an explosive interview towards the end of last year, and it has led to a lot of talk about his future. Saudi clubs wanted him last summer as well, but they couldn’t manage to secure his services, as he ended up signing a contract extension at Liverpool.
It seems clubs from the Middle East are once again ready to try and lure him, given his current situation at Anfield. Cristiano Ronaldo is threatening to walk away from the Saudi Pro League following Karim Benzema’s mid-season switch from Al-Ittihad to Al-Nassr title rivals Al-Hilal last week.
If Ronaldo returns to Europe in the near future, it will be a massive blow for the Saudi league. As a result, they are looking to approach Salah to be their new face, and they are ready to offer him mouth-watering wages. Since he is frustrated with his situation at Liverpool, the Egyptian can certainly think about taking a big payday in the Middle East.
