Mohamed Salah’s pathway to Saudi Arabia remains open this summer as the player faces up to a big decision over his future.
Salah’s touchline flare-up at West Ham with Jurgen Klopp intensifies the focus on Salah’s future at a time when his contract is starting to head into its final year.
It was revealed last week that Salah’s future was up in the air ahead of next season – and that feeling intensified when he was caught on camera arguing with his boss at the weekend.
Liverpool Could Still Keep Mohamed Salah
Reports are now suggesting Liverpool intend to keep Salah and that a new contract may even be possible – and there is also growing speculation that clubs in the Saudi Pro League will hold back on trying to sign him this summer.
Yet that does not seem to be the wider feeling of all insiders, as there are indications that Al-Ittihad will be back with a new offer for him. And other clubs in the league are also starting to consider the idea of signing him too.
It is becoming clear that the opportunity to sign a player of such huge status in Saudi Arabia is too good to pass by and that this current situation may lead Salah to consider his options.
Liverpool’s leaked stance around being willing to keep him on next season puts the emphasis on their Egyptian superstar being the decision maker in how this plays out.
It is believed Salah has been rattled by the circumstances of last weekend, when he was involved in a spat with his manager at West Ham United after being brought on as a late substitute.
And any feeling that the Saudi Pro League clubs are taking a back seat from signing big names in the next transfer window are believed to be wide of the mark.
There is a feeling that while the stance will be slightly less aggressive than last year, there is every intent to go after some marquee names. Salah is among them, along with the likes of Tottenham’s Richarlison and Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus.
