Mohamed Salah has a greater chance to leave Liverpool next year, with Saudi Arabia looking like the likely destination for the Egyptian.
Football Insider reckons Mohamed Salah will leave Liverpool in 2024, with Saudi Arabia his likely destination. Al Ittihad were in the mix late in the summer window, but the Reds held on to the 31-year-old key star, but they may not be able to block the inevitable move next year.
The Saudi Pro League came in with massive funds and raided many clubs of their key stars. Most of the big clubs remained firm in their stance about selling important players, but Liverpool opened the door wide open for them to take two of their important midfielders.
Jordan Henderson and Fabinho’s move to the Middle East caused problems for Liverpool, forcing them to alter their transfer plans altogether. Al Ittihad then caused massive concerns among the Anfield fanbase after making a £150 million bid for Mohamed Salah, which the Merseysiders rejected out of hand.
With the Saudi window closing well after the European one, speculation surrounding the 31-year-old key star increased, with the suggestion of a mammoth £225 million bid in the media. As Salah has proved himself as Liverpool’s most important star this season, Saudi clubs will return with another approach soon.
The most likely timeline is January, when the window re-opens, with Liverpool reportedly planning life without their talisman. The Reds might be better prepared this time to figure out their future without the 31-year-old key star, as Al Ittihad are expected to return with a massive offer.
This time, Salah has a massive chance of leaving Liverpool to embark on a new challenge in the Middle East. The Saudis are not chasing the Egyptian alone; they also have sights on Manchester City’s Kevin De Briuyne as a potential target for their league.
In Salah’s case, the Saudi clubs have already done massive groundwork, and now all will depend on the money on offer. Liverpool will look at the future and use those funds to improve their squad under Jurgen Klopp further.
While Salah remains their most important star, there’s a time when the club must decide on the 31-year-old key star’s future. The departure may materialise in January, but the summer window looks most likely when the Egyptian might depart with a year left on his massive £350,000-a-week deal at Merseyside.
