The Egyptian forward, who is currently in the final year of his contract at Anfield, is said to be interested in a move to the Saudi Professional League, where he could earn a staggering £150 million over two years.
Salah has been linked with a move to Saudi Arabia for several months, but the latest reports suggest that he is now serious about a switch to the Middle East.
It is understood that Salah’s representatives have met with officials from Al Nassr and Al Ittihad, two of the biggest clubs in Saudi Arabia.
Liverpool are said to be open to selling Salah this summer, but they are demanding a fee of £60 million for the 30-year-old.
It remains to be seen whether Al Nassr or Al Ittihad are willing to meet Liverpool’s asking price, but the fact that Salah has authorised his representatives to open negotiations suggests that a deal could be close.
If Salah does leave Liverpool this summer, it would be a major blow for the club. He is their top scorer in the Premier League this season with 22 goals, and he is also one of the most popular players in the world.
However, Salah’s decision to leave Liverpool is understandable. He is at the peak of his career and he is likely to earn a lot of money in Saudi Arabia.
It will be interesting to see how the negotiations between Liverpool and Al Nassr or Al Ittihad progress. If a deal is reached, it would be one of the biggest transfers in Premier League history.
