The Saudi Pro League has burst onto the European transfer market this summer, since the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr in January the Saudi Arabian league has set out to bring big stars to their league and everything seems to indicate that one of the main targets of the managers of the exotic league is our star Mohamed Salah, who has become one of the great legends of our Liverpool.
Several weeks ago it was reported that a high command of the Saudi Pro League put Mo Salah as one of the players they would like to take to the Middle East, because besides being a great player and a superstar of world football, Salah is a great figure in that part of the world and no doubt taking him would be a great business for them. However, the Pharaoh has rejected any attempt to approach him as his desire is to remain in the biggest team in the best league in the world and continue to reap success with Liverpool.
But there is a big risk, and that is that the Saudi Pro League has shown that there are virtually no limits or obstacles that prevent them from getting what they want in terms of transfers, as they do not have any impediments such as Financial Fair Play and also the transfer market lasts longer for them than for clubs in Europe, so they can spend a lot of money and offer exorbitant salaries to players to convince them to leave European football.
This summer we have already witnessed and fallen victim to the economic might of Saudi clubs. First they took our captain, as Jordan Henderson was offered a salary twice as much as Salah currently earns at Liverpool to join Al-Ettifaq, while Fabinho was offered an impossible amount to join Al-Ittihad and now they are back to try to sign the Egyptian legend.
According to journalist John Richardson, the Saudi Pro League is set to return next year with a stronger bid for more Premier League stars and Mohamed Salah would be at the top of that list of targets. The journalist reported that this summer would have been just the beginning of the Saudi Pro League's million-dollar spending spree, who could try to make a record signing to take Mo Salah, who is currently valued at around €65 million, but who Liverpool surely won't sell so easily as he is under contract until 2025.
