Al-Ittihad open talks to sign Mohammed Salah in the summer | OneFootball

Al-Ittihad have reignited talks to sign Mohamed Salah from Liverpool this summer, according to Foot Mercato.

The Jeddah club view Salah as the ideal figurehead for a new era at Alinma Stadium following Karim Benzema’s recent high-profile move to Al-Hilal.

Al-Ittihad are prepared to triple Salah’s Liverpool salary, offering a staggering £1.2 million per week.

This would not only make him the highest-paid Arab athlete in history but also the face of the Saudi Pro League as it enters its next phase of expansion.

Salah signed a contract extension in April 2025 that keeps him at Liverpool until June 2027, but he has been poor this season.

With just six goals in all competitions and more time on the bench under Arne Slot, speculation is mounting that Liverpool could cash in – unlike in 2023 when they rejected a £150m bid.

Liverpool will demand a significant transfer fee for Salah, even with just a year left on his contract this summer.

Offloading Salah’s £400,000-per-week wages would give the Reds major financial flexibility for a summer overhaul.

Liverpool have won just one of six league outings this year, heading into tomorrow’s game at Sunderland.
