Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia in recent months, with a lucrative deal on the cards.
Mohamed Salah will be a free agent in 2025 if he does not sign a new contract with Liverpool. And Saudi Pro League clubs are prepared to sign the Egyptian international in a Bosman move next year.
According to a report from Caught Offside Saudi Pro League clubs could be willing to offer him wages of around €30 million per year for three seasons to get the deal done. The player has recently indicated that Liverpool are yet to open contract talks with him, and it will be interesting to see if the Premier League side makes a move to keep him at the club beyond this season.
There is no doubt that the Egyptian is one of the best players in the world, and he has been outstanding since joining Liverpool from AS Roma in 2017. Salah has helped them when every major trophy at club level, and his departure would be a major blow for the club. Even though he is in his thirties, he remains the best attacker at the club, and Liverpool cannot afford to lose him anytime soon.
Liverpool must keep hold of Mo Salah
Liverpool should look to offer him a new contract and convince him to stay at the club for as long as possible. The Egyptian is at the peak of his powers, and he has been performing at a world class level on a consistent basis. The winger has started the current season in impressive form as well, scoring three goals in three matches.
Meanwhile, the opportunity to sign a player like him on a free transfer can be quite exciting, and Saudi Pro League clubs will certainly hope to snap him up. Adding him to the league will only add more commercial appeal to Saudi Arabian football.
The wages on offer can turn heads of most players, and it will be interesting to see what the Liverpool attacker decides. It is fair to assume that Liverpool will not be able to match the money on offer in Saudi Arabia. So, the player will have to decide whether he wants to continue in Europe even though he will be earning a lot less.
