Mohamed Salah’s time at Liverpool appears to be drawing to a close. According to sources in Saudi Arabia, the club’s long-time talisman is expected to leave Anfield this summer, with the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) prepared to play a central role in facilitating a blockbuster move.

As reported by The Telegraph, Saudi clubs had already explored the possibility of signing Salah during the recent winter transfer window. However, Liverpool were unwilling to sanction a mid-season departure, prioritising stability during a crucial phase of the campaign.

The decisive factor now appears to be the player himself. In early December, Mohamed Salah was involved in a public dispute with the club, a situation that has only intensified speculation around his future. When combined with an exceptionally lucrative proposal from the Middle East, the chances of keeping the Egyptian star at Liverpool look increasingly slim.
