The Mohamed Salah contract situation has continued to remain a soap opera as Liverpool are still struggling to sort out terms of a new deal with the player and his representatives.
Salah has continued to remain the most important forward in the Liverpool squad despite the speculation over his long-term future at Anfield.
He underlined his importance to the team by scoring in Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Brighton over the weekend and his cryptic social media post after the game added fuel to the rumours of his potential departure.
Salah’s preference is believed to be staying at Anfield but he has certain demands that Liverpool would have to meet if they want to hold on to the attacker.
The forward wants the security of a three-year deal before he can commit his future to the club but for the moment, it seems there is no agreement between the two parties.
There has been a lot of talk about interest from Saudi Arabia and now one club have come forward to register their willingness to sign him.
The Salah contract situation attracts specific Saudi Arabian interest
Salah has been heavily linked with a move to Saudi Arabia with suggestions that the Saudi Pro League wants him to be the face of their competition moving forward.
According to talkSPORT, Al Hilal are the club who are pushing to convince the forward to move to Saudi Arabia.
They already have Neymar, Joao Cancelo and Ruben Neves in their squad and they want to add more star power in the form of Salah.
Al Hilal are likely to offer him obscene money to tempt the forward into moving to the Middle East on a free transfer next summer.
Can you name the team Liverpool sold these players to?
Liverpool hope that the prospect of continuing to compete for all the major trophies in Europe will keep Salah at Anfield.
However, no new contract has been agreed upon and Al Hilal are in a position to offer him a last big payday.
The forward is keen to stay at Anfield but Liverpool will have to offer him a three-year contract, which they haven’t yet.
Al Hilal are pushing their interest in the background and will be free to offer him terms in January if he doesn’t sign a new deal with Liverpool by then.
