Need to know
Mohamed Salah could finally be set to leave Liverpool in 2026, and the Saudi Pro League is the hot favourite to be his destination after Merseyside
Everything you need to know about Mohamed Salah’s possible Liverpool exit, including the club’s stance and the latest around a transfer fee…
- Saudi Arabian interest: Official interest from the Saudi Pro League is expected to intensify surrounding Mohamed Salah in the very near future. Mirror Football’s exclusive suggests that Saudi clubs will begin firming up their pursuit over the coming months, having missed out on a move in the past.
- Previous Mo Salah links: Salah has previously been linked with a switch to Saudi Arabia, with the latest coming in the January transfer window. The 33-year-old suggested he may leave after a falling out at Liverpool, but he has since returned to the team and remains available for selection.
- Wage boost: Offloading Salah’s massive salary is seen as a significant incentive for the club’s management, if an exit does materialise. Saving on these astronomical wages would provide Liverpool with much-needed financial flexibility, coming as a potential huge boost for business in the future.
- Transfer fee: Liverpool expect to receive a substantial transfer fee if the Egyptian forward moves to Saudi Arabia. They are looking to capitalise on his market value before his contract situation changes again, considering his reputation in the game.
- Possible timeline: The Liverpool hierarchy are keen to have any potential deal fully concluded before the World Cup in the summer. This proactive approach allows the club to plan their squad transition more effectively, with the need to find a replacement.
- International commitments: Another major factor in the transfer timeline is Salah’s participation in the upcoming World Cup with Egypt. The club wants to avoid the complications and distractions that arise during a major international tournament.
