Even though Mohamed Salah recently signed a fresh contract extension at Liverpool, chatter about his future isn’t going anywhere—especially with Saudi Arabia still keeping a close eye on him.
And it’s not just gossip anymore—the country’s Sports Minister has added fuel to the fire.
Salah’s Legendary Status at Liverpool Continues
At 32, Salah has become nothing short of a modern-day Liverpool legend.
Since arriving from Roma in 2017 for £36.5 million, he’s netted 243 goals in 396 appearances.
That’s not just impressive—it’s historic. He’s lifted eight major trophies in red and continues to be a central figure under Arne Slot, especially as the club inches closer to a Premier League title.
A Contract Extension That Quieted Rumors… For Now
With his previous deal set to expire this summer, speculation had been swirling for months about whether Salah would stay or go. His cryptic interviews didn’t help, either.
But earlier this April, Liverpool fans breathed a collective sigh of relief when Salah officially signed a new deal running through 2027—reportedly worth a staggering £380,000 per week.
Saudi Arabia Still Wants Salah in the Long Run
Despite that commitment to Liverpool, Saudi Arabia hasn’t let go of the idea of bringing Salah to their Pro League.
The interest isn’t exactly new—back in 2023, Al-Ittihad made a jaw-dropping £150 million bid for him, but Liverpool turned it down.
And now, Saudi Sports Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal has made it clear that Salah still fits the league’s vision.
While speaking at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, he acknowledged the strong association between Salah and Saudi Arabia—even if no actual talks have taken place.
“He’s an Iconic Arab Muslim” – What the Minister Said
The Minister didn’t hold back in praising Salah, calling him a superstar and a cultural fit for the Saudi league.
He acknowledged the rumors and media noise linking Salah with a move but insisted most of it isn’t true.
Still, he hinted that if there’s a strategic fit in the future, it’s not off the table.
“We have a strategy,” he said, addressing the perception that Saudi clubs are just signing random players.
“Everyone thinks we’re going after anyone, but we have a long-term plan. Salah fits that identity.”
Salah Still Focused on Glory with Liverpool
While Saudi Arabia might be plotting their next move, Salah is laser-focused on the present—and it’s looking bright for Liverpool.
With 27 goals and 18 assists this season alone, he’s been instrumental in their title chase.
Their latest 1-0 win over Leicester has put them just one win away from officially clinching the Premier League crown.
Salah Shares His Joy at Staying in Merseyside
Speaking after renewing his deal, Salah made it clear just how much Liverpool means to him.
“I’m very excited,” he told the club’s website. “I’ve had my best years here.
I think we have a great chance to win more trophies.”
He also had a heartfelt message for fans: “I’m very happy to be here.
I signed because I believe in this team and what we can achieve together.
Keep supporting us—we’re going to give everything to bring more silverware to Anfield.”
