Saudi decision-makers are certain they can complete the recruitment of Egyptian star Mohamed Salah.
The Saudi government believes it will eventually welcome Mohamed Salah into its national championship.
“Salah is the icing on the cake for the Saudis”
Sky Sports’ Kaveh Solhekol has given his take on the rumors linking the Liverpool star to the Arab Kingdom. The latest rumors also report an offer of €230m made by Al-Ittihad to Liverpool for the Pharaoh.
Salah is said to be among many top players who have decided to join the Saudi Pro League, including Karim Benzema and Cristiano Ronaldo. “The Saudis are convinced that it is inevitable that they will eventually get Mo Salah”, said Solhekol on the English channel. “Will it be today or in the next few days? It’s a question of time.
As a reminder, the transfer window in the Saudi championship does not close until September 7th. The arrival of foreign players will therefore always be possible during the coming week.
“He is on the list of players they want but they also respect Liverpool and when the message gets through that the player is not for sale they will respect that. added the English journalist. They consider it the icing on the cake. The Saudi Pro League already feels like it’s had an amazing transfer window. They went far beyond their wildest dreams in signing the kind of players they signed. Yes, it would be fantastic for them to have the most famous Arab player playing in an Arab country, but they think they might have to wait a bit longer to get him. The Saudi window is open until next Thursday, so they have time.”
