Liverpool Legend Could Depart Anfield as Contract Talks Stall, with Saudi Giants Ready to Offer €200 Million Per Year
In a move that could shake the football world, Al-Hilal coach Jorge Jesus has openly expressed his desire to sign Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah this summer. Speculation about Salah’s potential transfer to the Saudi Pro League has been building for months, and Jesus’ comments have added fuel to the fire, suggesting that the Egyptian forward could be on his way to the Middle East.
“I would like to have Salah at Al-Hilal,” Jesus said. “He has a way of playing that fits the team.”
Reports indicate that Al-Hilal are prepared to offer Salah a staggering €200 million per year, matching the salary of Cristiano Ronaldo at Al-Nassr. This is a figure far beyond what Liverpool can afford, and with Salah’s contract set to expire in June 2025, the Reds may be forced to let their talisman leave sooner rather than risk losing him for free.
According to sources, Liverpool are considering allowing Salah to join Al-Hilal immediately after the European club season ends, enabling him to participate in the Club World Cup in June. This would mark the end of an era for Salah at Anfield, where he has cemented his status as one of the club’s greatest-ever players since joining from Roma in 2017 for a modest €38 million.
Over the past seven years, Salah has been instrumental in Liverpool’s success, scoring 237 goals in 383 appearances and leading the team to Premier League and Champions League glory. His individual accolades include three Premier League Golden Boots and the 2017-18 Premier League Player of the Year award. Even at 32, Salah remains in peak form, netting 26 goals in 34 games this season as Liverpool chase silverware on multiple fronts.
However, contract negotiations between Salah and Liverpool have stalled, with the player expressing frustration over the lack of progress. “It’s my last year at the club, and I want to do something special for the city,” Salah told Sky Sports last month. “There is no progress [on contract talks]. We are far away from any progress, so we just have to wait and see.”
The Saudi Pro League has long been courting Salah, with Al-Ittihad submitting a jaw-dropping €175 million bid for him last summer, which Liverpool rejected. Now, Al-Hilal appear poised to secure Salah’s signature on a free transfer, a move that would further elevate the league’s global profile.
For Liverpool fans, the potential departure of Salah marks the end of an unforgettable chapter. For Al-Hilal and the Saudi Pro League, it represents another monumental step in their quest to become a footballing powerhouse. As the summer transfer window approaches, all eyes will be on Salah and his next move.
