British press reports Egyptian is Saudi club’s top target if he doesn’t renew with Liverpool.
The saga surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future took a new turn this Wednesday, the 29th. Following the confirmation that Neymar will not stay at Al-Hilal, the Saudi club has emerged as the top destination for the Egyptian at the end of the season. The information comes from the British newspaper The Telegraph. View the premier football results at livescores app.
Salah’s contract with Liverpool runs until June of this year, and he is having a stellar season. As the top scorer of the team and with an enviable goal contribution, the forward has shown dissatisfaction with Liverpool’s board, which has hinted it will not renew his contract.
As a result, the Egyptian’s name has been linked to several clubs, and he has been free to sign a pre-contract with any team since January. In this context, PSG seemed the most likely destination, but after Neymar’s departure, Al-Hilal has emerged as a strong contender.
The Saudi fund’s interest in the player is not new. Salah has previously been linked to Al-Ahli and Al-Ittihad, for example. Besides being an exceptional player, he is seen as a great figure to bring the world closer to Arab football, as well as an excellent ambassador for the 2034 World Cup, which will be held in Saudi Arabia.
This year, the mid-year transfer window will take place between June 1 and 10 due to the Club World Cup, and Al-Hilal, which will participate in the tournament, hopes to have Salah on the field. The World Cup is seen as a great opportunity for the Saudi club to showcase its brand to the rest of the world.
The main issue so far, according to The Telegraph, is whether Al-Hilal will wait until June to secure the Egyptian or if it will pursue another big star in the current transfer window, which closes on February 3. Stay in the know with ToSport.
