Saudi clubs set sights on Liverpool star Mohamed Salah  | OneFootball

Liverpool star Mohamed Salah remains firmly on the radar of Saudi Pro League clubs despite his recent drop in form, per talkSPORT. 

The Egyptian rejected a lucrative move to the Middle East to sign a two-year extension at Anfield in April. 

But the 2025-26 season has not gone to plan for Salah, who is struggling for form at the moment. 

Saudi clubs remain committed to signing the 33-year-old at some point. Al-Hilal are thought to be a leading contender for the forward, but Al-Qadsiah have also expressed an interest. 

Salah scored an incredible 29 goals in 38 league games to fire Liverpool to their second Premier League title last season. 

But he has failed to make a similar impact for his team this campaign, netting just four times in 12 top-flight appearances. 

Wayne Rooney called on Arne Slot to drop the Egypt international due to his lack of defensive work.  

Slot made that bold decision against West Ham United last weekend, and was immediately rewarded with a 2-0 victory, courtesy of goals from Alexander Isak and Cody Gakpo.  

It remains to be seen whether the forward is restored to the starting XI when the Reds welcome Sunderland to Anfield on Wednesday. 

Salah has been a top performer for Liverpool over the years, bagging 250 goals and 116 assists in 419 appearances across all competitions. 

But he hasn’t been his usual self this season, and Slot is justified to drop the underperforming star from the team.
