With the Brazilian superstar’s contract set to expire at the end of the season, the reigning champions are keen to bring in a marquee player, and Salah, one of the Premier League’s most consistent performers, seems to fit the bill perfectly.

The 32-year-old Egyptian has been nothing short of sensational this season. Despite Liverpool’s recent slip a 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest—Salah remains the driving force behind the Reds’ title charge.

He leads the Premier League in goals and assists, tallying 18 goals and 13 assists in just 20 matches.

These staggering numbers underline his indispensable role in Liverpool’s attacking setup, making the prospect of his departure even more daunting for fans.

For Al-Hilal, Salah represents not just a sporting asset but also a cultural and commercial icon. His immense popularity across the Arab world would make him a perfect fit for the Saudi club’s vision of elevating the league’s global profile.

With Neymar likely to depart, Salah’s signing would provide continuity in star power and further strengthen the league’s reputation as a destination for elite talent.

However, Liverpool fans are growing increasingly anxious as Salah’s contract negotiations remain unresolved.

The forward, whose current deal expires in the summer, is free to negotiate with overseas clubs, and reports suggest he has expressed frustration over the lack of progress in talks.

While Salah has publicly voiced his desire to stay at Anfield, the looming interest from Al-Hilal might test his resolve.

Liverpool’s sporting director, Richard Hughes, has faced criticism for not accelerating contract renewals, particularly for key players like Salah, Virgil van Dijk, and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

If Liverpool fail to secure Salah’s signature soon, it could spark unrest among supporters already frustrated with Fenway Sports Group’s perceived lack of urgency in safeguarding the club’s future.

For now, all eyes are on the summer transfer window, where Al-Hilal’s ambition could potentially reshape the landscape of both the Saudi Pro League and Liverpool’s squad.
