Saudi Arabia’s top-tier football competition, the Saudi Pro League, has stepped up its efforts to sign Liverpool star Mohamed Salah, with talks reportedly intensifying in recent weeks as clubs aim to secure a high-profile deal before the summer.

According to a report by TeamTalk, officials in Saudi Arabia are pushing hard to wrap up a major agreement involving the Egyptian international, who is expected to captain his national team at upcoming international fixtures.

Al-Ittihad moves ahead as talks pick up pace

Among the clubs involved, Al-Ittihad is said to be leading the race, as discussions around a potential transfer have picked up pace. The report suggests that fresh negotiations have taken place recently, indicating a growing determination from Saudi stakeholders to bring the player into the league.

Saudi officials are described as highly confident that they can pull off the deal and position Salah as the league’s next global face, continuing a broader push to attract internationally recognized players.

Multiple routes remain open as interest spreads

Despite the strong interest from Saudi Arabia, Salah is not limited to a single path. Clubs from Italy and Germany are said to be closely monitoring the situation, ready to step in if the player decides to stay within top-tier European football.

At the same time, teams from the United States’ Major League Soccer are also keeping tabs on developments, with the possibility of making a move should an opportunity arise.

While interest continues to build across multiple regions, Salah has not yet made a final decision regarding his future.
