Premier League heavyweights Liverpool have reportedly ruled out a summer departure of 32-year-old attacking mainstay Mohamed Salah.
According to a report by Daily Mirror, Mohamed Salah is the subject of interest from Saudi Pro League clubs over a move in the summer transfer window. However, Liverpool will not entertain offers to sell the 32-year-old mainstay even if he does not sign a new contract with the Merseyside outfit.
The rise and rise of Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah has been one of the best players in the world since joining Liverpool from AS Roma in July 2017. The Egyptian international hit the ground running at Anfield, immediately becoming a talismanic attacker for the Merseyside outfit and has won the Premier League Golden Boot multiple times.
The 32-year-old has played a leading role in guiding Liverpool to almost every major honour in club football, including the elusive Premier League title in the 2019/20 season. The experienced attacker has turned out nearly 350 times thus far for Liverpool, amassing an excellent tally of 211 goals and 89 assists.
However, Salah’s long-term future at the Merseyside club has been uncertain heading into the summer transfer window, as he has entered the final 12 months of his contract. Such a situation has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs, with the big-spending Saudi Pro League giants keen on prising him away from Liverpool.
Will Saudi Pro League clubs finally land their man?
Mohamed Salah was the subject of interest from then-reigning Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad in last summer’s transfer window, with the club submitting multiple big-money offers to Liverpool. However, a move did not see the light of day, as the Reds were not ready to part ways with their talismanic attacker.
The Premier League heavyweights want to tie the 32-year-old to a new contract. That will help Liverpool secure Salah’s future while retaining a high asking price for the upcoming transfer windows. The latest update has revealed that Liverpool will not entertain any bids to part ways with the veteran forward in the summer transfer window.
Recent reports have claimed that Saudi Pro League clubs are ready to wait until the 2025 summer transfer window to secure Mohamed Salah’s services. However, it will be interesting to see what response they receive if they submit a bid to Liverpool this year.
