Saudi Pro League chief confirms Salah interest amid Liverpool uncertaintyShareDespite signing a contract extension in April, Mohamed Salah could leave Liverpool next month, with Saudi Arabia a possible destination.Liverpool's Mohamed Salah is a target for Saudi Pro League clubs for a potential January switch, confirmed the league's chief executive, Omar Mugharbel. Salah's future at Anfield has been thrown into doubt following the Egyptian's explosive post-match interview following Liverpool's 3-3 draw with Leeds United last weekend. The 33-year-old was on the bench for the third game in a row at Elland Road, and he suggested the club had "thrown him under the bus" after their poor start to the season. Salah has now been an unused substitute in two of Liverpool's last three Premier League matches, having only previously been so in three of his first 303 matchday squads he featured in for the Reds. And Liverpool took action by dropping Salah from the travelling party to face Inter in the Champions League on Tuesday, a game that Arne Slot's team won 1-0. While Liverpool boss Slot has kept the door ajar for Salah to return to his plans, Mugharbel said clubs in Saudi Arabia are keeping a close eye on the situation. "Mohamed Salah is welcome in the Saudi League, but it is the clubs that are responsible for negotiating with players," he said, via Asharq Al-Awsat."For sure, Salah is one of them [a target]."Salah has struggled for form in 2025-26 so far, registering just eight goal contributions (five goals, three assists) in 19 appearances across all competitions. He finished with 34 goals and 23 assists last season, more than any other player in Europe's top five leagues, helping Liverpool to their second Premier League title. Salah has been of interest to clubs from Saudi Arabia in the past, with reports suggesting a move to the Middle East could be on the cards following his recent comments. In 2023, Liverpool rejected a reported £150m bid from Al-Ittihad for Salah, while Al-Hilal have also expressed their interest in sealing the forward's signature.Since joining the club in 2017, Salah has made 420 appearances across all competitions, netting a staggering 250 goals while also laying on 113 assists for his team-mates. It is unclear whether he will be involved in Liverpool's Premier League clash with Brighton this Saturday, with Salah joining up with Egypt for the Africa Cup of Nations next week.
