Previously, the situation heated up after Salah openly expressed his disappointment after being benched three times in a row by Slot.He was disappointed because the coach did not play him for the last three matches.
Several Saudi Pro League clubs are reportedly monitoring developments and preparing to make offers to Salah if the situation at Liverpool becomes unclear.Sourced by beIN Sports, Saudi Pro League CEO Omar Mugharbel has confirmed that the Egyptian is one of their top targets, insisting that the door is always open for him in Saudi Arabia.
“Mohamed Salah was accepted into the Saudi League, but it is the clubs who are responsible for negotiating with the players. Of course Salah is one of them [targets],” explained Omar Mugharbel, quoted from the beIN Sports page.
This interest comes even though Liverpool have not received a formal approach and the player has not explicitly stated his desire to leave the club.However, a report from British media The Telegraph said that the Saudi Pro League had even considered fully financing the transfer if Salah showed readiness to move from Liverpool.Something that could determine the success of negotiations in the midst of his contract which is still valid until 2027.
The conflict between Salah and Slot has made headlines after the 33-year-old striker criticized the club for feeling “thrown away” after missing out on a place in the starting line-up.He even implied his relationship with Slot “no longer exists,” even though the two once had a good professional relationship.
Slot himself remains open regarding the possibility of reintegration, although he has not given a definite answer as to whether Salah will return to play for Liverpool.
In the midst of this chaos, Liverpool is trying to balance between retaining one of their club’s biggest icons and maintaining market value and team stability in the midst of a challenging season.Meanwhile, for the Saudi Pro League, bringing in Salah would be a big step in their ambition to strengthen the attractiveness of the competition ahead of the 2034 World Cup.
