Mohamed Salah, a winger for Liverpool, may move to Saudi Arabia, according to Michael Emenalo, director of football for the Saudi Pro League. Edouard Mendy, Riyad Mahrez, Franck Kessie, Kalidou Koulibaly, and Sadio Mane were among the top African players to sign with the Saudi Pro League during the summer transfer window, but Mohamed Salah, the two-time African Footballer of the Year, was not able to secure a deal.
Salah’s extension of his Liverpool contract to 2025 did not stop Al-Ittihad from trying to sign him and making a record contract offer, but manager Jurgen Klopp did not want to lose his talisman and halted the move. Saudi Arabia is still interested in signing the Egypt international, who has scored 144 goals in 239 Premier League appearances, ahead of the transfer window’s reopening.
According to Emenalo, who spoke to Philipp Kessler for the Evening Standard, “Mo is welcome at any time, but no one is pressured or forced to come.”. “If anyone wants to come here and there is a chance to work with the transferring club in a very respectful and professional manner, we would be very happy to have them. But I have a soft spot in my heart for Mo. “.
The following Nigerian forwards are signed by Saudi Pro League teams: Odion Ighalo (Al Wehda), Anthony Nwakaeme (Al Fayha), Henry Onyekuru (Al Fayha), and Saviour Godwin (Al Akhdoud).
