The Saudi Pro League is making preparations for their initial move to acquire Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, aiming to secure a deal before the summer transfer window opens.
Mohamed Salah, the talented forward from Liverpool and Egypt, is the top priority for the Pro League, and they have confidence that a successful agreement can be reached.
Salah is currently backed by PIF-backed Al-Ittihad, a club that has made significant signings in the Pro League over the past year, including Karim Benzema.
However, Benzema has faced difficulties with Marcelo Gallardo, and it is rumored that the former Real Madrid striker may be allowed to leave this summer. A potential return to his former club Lyon is being considered for the Frenchman.

Nevertheless, Al-Ittihad firmly believes that signing Salah is crucial for their progress, and they are hopeful that all parties involved can reach a finalized agreement soon. Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand has described Salah as “phenomenal.”
Liverpool’s recently appointed footballing executive Michael Edwards is already knowledgeable about the current situation. Edwards is prepared to approve Salah’s departure if, as anticipated, the former Chelsea player indicates his readiness to relocate to the Middle East, where he is expected to become the highest-paid player globally.
The club is already strategizing and conducting research on various potential targets, such as Nico Williams, Pedro Neto, and Florian Wirtz. Jurgen Klopp’s team currently holds the second position in the Premier League standings. Liverpool has accumulated 71 points from 31 matches and is tied with Arsenal at the top. Manchester City, the defending champions, are in third place with 70 points from 31 games.
