Saudi Pro League have renewed interest in Mohamed Salah, according to reports, as they look for a new headline star for the summer window.
Several reports have claimed in the past few days that Saudi clubs could offer Salah wages that dwarf his Liverpool salary. Some outlets say the package could triple his current weekly pay. Those figures remain speculative, however.
Saudi officials see Salah as the league’s next poster boy. They want him to front the next phase of recruitment.
Salah, who turns 34 in the summer, is viewed by Saudi clubs as a forward who is still at his peak. They also view him as a commercial force.
At the same time, the Egyptian’s relationship with Liverpool has faced scrutiny in recent months following a brief rift with Arne Slot. That storyline has fed fresh transfer rumors.
Saudi football now faces a separate problem. Cristiano Ronaldo has shown public frustration with league decisions, according to reports. He reportedly objected to how the league handled high-profile transfers.
Ronaldo remains the league’s biggest global magnet. If he leaves, the league will need a replacement headline. Saudi Pro League decision-makers appear to see Salah as the solution.
For now, the story remains a summer one. No official bids or statements have surfaced so far. But Saudi interest seems to have clearly returned.
