Egyptian football sensation Mohamed Salah is reportedly on the cusp of a high-profile transfer to Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad, as reported by beIN Sports.
The potential blockbuster move has sent shockwaves through the sports world, with fans and analysts alike eagerly awaiting official confirmation.
Salah, a prolific forward, has carved his name into football history during his tenure at English Premier League powerhouse Liverpool. Renowned for his exceptional skills on the field, the 31-year-old has held the esteemed title of Liverpool’s top scorer for an impressive six consecutive seasons.
While Salah’s prowess on the pitch has endeared him to fans worldwide, the allure of an astronomical salary offer from Al-Ittihad appears to have ignited his interest in a new chapter of his career.

As the report surfaced on Thursday, it shed light on the possible departure of Salah from Liverpool. The Egyptian’s departure, if confirmed, would mark a significant milestone for the Saudi Pro League (SPL), a league that has ambitiously attracted elite players from around the globe in recent times.
The SPL’s aggressive player acquisition strategy has seen luminaries like Neymar, Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, and Riyad Mahrez don the colors of various Saudi clubs this summer.
The backdrop to this potential transfer frenzy lies in the transformation of four top Saudi Arabian clubs, including Al-Ittihad, under the stewardship of the country’s Public Investment Fund.
This infusion of substantial financial backing has enabled these clubs to vie for top-tier global talents and elevate the SPL’s stature on the international stage.
The league’s vision of becoming one of the world’s premier football competitions seems to be quickly materializing.
Nevertheless, Liverpool, Salah’s current club, remains steadfast in their position. According to The Athletic, the English club has reportedly conveyed to Al-Ittihad that Salah is “not for sale.”
This sentiment echoes Salah’s own agent’s recent statement on social media, reaffirming his client’s commitment to Liverpool following the signing of a lucrative contract last summer, valued at a reported £350,000 per week.
