Every summer, Liverpool fans brace themselves for transfer speculation surrounding Mohamed Salah.
The winger remains one of the most valuable players in world football.
With his contract set to expire at the end of the season, rumors about his future have only intensified.
Salah has long been a target for the Saudi Pro League, which has already lured big names like Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema to the Middle East.
In 2023, Liverpool rejected a £150 million bid from Al Ittihad, making it clear they had no intention of selling.
But with his contract running down, many believed Saudi clubs would return with another massive offer.
Adding to the uncertainty, Salah himself fueled speculation in November when he said he was “more out than in” when asked about his future.
Meanwhile, Saudi clubs were reportedly preparing a three-year deal worth over £160m per year to convince him to leave Anfield.
But now, Liverpool have been handed a huge boost – Salah is not in active negotiations with any Saudi club.
Liverpool get major Mohamed Salah transfer boost
According to talkSPORT, Saudi Pro League chiefs are losing hope that they can sign Salah.
Despite their willingness to make him one of the highest-paid players in football, they believe “he wants to continue in Europe.”
This is exactly what Liverpool fans wanted to hear.
While his future is still undecided, club officials remain “hopeful that the player—as well as skipper Virgil van Dijk—will commit to their futures in Merseyside beyond the summer.”
Salah is currently having an incredible season.
He tops the Premier League’s charts for goals and assists, with 27 goals and 17 assists so far.
He is closing in on the Premier League record for most assists in a season and is just five goals away from matching his record tally of 32 goals from his debut campaign in 2017.
Liverpool still have work to do to secure Salah’s future, but for now, the immediate danger of a Saudi move seems to have passed.
