Saudi Pro League clubs are once again preparing an aggressive push to sign Mohamed Salah, with sources indicating that proposals worth €65m–€80m are being lined up for the 2026 summer window. The Saudis, who have long identified Salah as a marquee target for their expanding football project, are reportedly ready to make him the second-highest paid player in the league, behind Cristiano Ronaldo.
Despite the strong financial power behind the Saudi interest, Liverpool have shown no indication that they are willing to sell their star forward at this stage. Salah remains under contract until 2027, a deal he signed after earlier talks with Saudi officials — discussions he later confirmed were “serious” before he chose to extend his stay at Anfield. With two years still remaining, Liverpool retain full control over the timing and nature of any potential departure.
The club’s stance is also influenced by the broader sporting context. While Salah’s recent form has fluctuated — including spells on the bench that have raised questions about his long-term role — Liverpool’s hierarchy continues to see him as a vital asset, both commercially and on the pitch. As it stands, no formal bids have been submitted, and the club is unwilling to open the door to negotiations mid-season.
However, the situation is expected to shift later in the year. Liverpool traditionally conduct a full internal review at the end of each campaign, assessing squad roles, contracts, development pathways, and financial considerations. Salah’s case will naturally form a significant part of that process, particularly given the scale of potential Saudi financial packages.

The player’s own preferences will also play a crucial role. While he has not publicly expressed a desire to leave, insiders note that Salah remains open to evaluating his next steps depending on playing time, long-term fit, and the direction of Liverpool’s project. After eight years at the club, his next major decision could define the final chapter of his peak career.
For now, the message from Anfield remains consistent: Salah is not for sale this season. But as the Saudi Pro League continues to reshape global football, this is a story that promises significant movement once the summer window approaches.
