Mohamed Salah, a talented winger for Liverpool, seems to have other goals in mind
Salah appears to want to leave his beloved Anfield residence, despite a barrage of rumours and rumours to the contrary. Al-Ittihad of the Saudi Pro League is grabbing attention for their high-profile acquisitions, and they appear to have their sights set squarely on Salah. Their goals now seem more ambitious after they previously made headlines by purchasing Fabinho from Liverpool. This potential pairing is made even more intriguing by Salah’s widespread prominence as one of the top Muslim athletes. Even if Salah’s agent has been tenacious in putting an end to leave rumours, the rumblings in the football world are becoming more audible every day.
According to insiders, Al-Ittihad is prepared to make a seductive offer to test whether Liverpool can keep its star. The capability of Al-Ittihad to meet any expectations from Liverpool and the Egyptian master himself has been highlighted by the Saudi daily Alyaum. The club’s goals are obvious given the investment they’ve already made on Karim Benzema’s skills. According to Spanish media, Salah is on pace to surpass Cristiano Ronaldo of Al-Nassr as the highest-paid player in the Saudi Pro League. Salah may truly be considering a life outside of Liverpool, according to signs following a conversation between Salah’s entourage and Al-Ittihad in Doha.
After a bustling but chaotic transfer window thus far, rumours abound in the hallways of Anfield. Who might take over the reins if Salah leaves? Federico Chiesa of Juventus and Leroy Sane of Bayern Munich are two candidates mentioned by the Italian media. With two years remaining on their current contracts, both players are valued at roughly €50m (£42.8m). In light of Salah’s recent 2025 contract extension, Jurgen Klopp would need to reevaluate his strategy in the event of Salah’s departure.
Sane’s prior experience in the Premier League with Manchester City lends a sense of familiarity, while Chiesa promises new dynamism. Salah is, after all, a legendary person in Liverpool’s rich history, so it would be enormous to fill his shoes. If Salah follows in the footsteps of previous Liverpool players Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, and Roberto Firmino, who all moved to Saudi Arabia, he would be echoing their decisions.
Credible sources like Sport Italia and David Ornstein from The Athletic affirm Al-Ittihad’s newfound zeal in their chase amidst this developing story. The Anfield faithful are currently perched on the edge of the cliff, eager and worried, watching every turn in the story of Mohamed Salah’s approaching future.
