Mohamed Salah does not want to move to the Saudi Pro League if he leaves Liverpool this year, as he only wants to join Paris Saint-Germain in that scenario.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Mohamed Salah faces an uncertain future at Liverpool FC heading into the summer transfer window. However, the seven-season veteran will not move to the Saudi Pro League. Instead, the Egyptian attacker’s heart is set on joining Paris Saint-Germain. The Ligue 1 champions can open pre-contract talks with the player, who has entered the final six months of his contract.
The Mohamed Salah story
Mohamed Salah has reached a crossroads in his career as he waits for the final major contract of his professional playing days. The veteran forward has been top-class throughout his stint with Liverpool, making a mockery of the £34 million the Merseyside club paid to secure his services seven years ago.
The 32-year-old has been Liverpool’s talisman in the last seven and a half years, and he has not let age catch up with him. The African attacker is enjoying arguably his best season thus far, amassing 21 goals and 17 assists in 21 appearances across all competitions.
However, the Egyptian international has left Liverpool in a spot of bother due to his contract situation. The experienced attacker has entered the final six months of his deal, and he can begin pre-contract talks with foreign clubs. However, the Reds want to tie him to a new two-year pact with the same wages. Recent reports have suggested they are confident of keeping hold of him.
What next?
Mohamed Salah is unsurprisingly a target for the Saudi Pro League, with Michael Emenalo eager to make him the poster boy of the competition. However, the Saudi riches do not lure the seven-season Liverpool veteran, who does not want to move to the Middle East if he leaves the Merseyside outfit this year.
Instead, Salah’s preferred destination will be PSG. The Ligue 1 champions are eager to land the Egyptian international, who can fill the gaping hole left by Kylian Mbappe’s departure as a free agent last summer.
However, while the Liverpool talisman is a viable target for PSG, the Reds hope to thwart his suitors and keep him at Anfield for the long haul. So, it will be interesting to see if the 32-year-old agrees to sign a new contract with Liverpool.
