Goodbye To Anfield For A Golden Future In Saudi Arabia?

Salah at the Crossroads: Goodbye to Anfield for a Golden Future in Saudi Arabia?

The Egyptian Liverpool star, tempted by Al Ittihad in a move that could redefine the transfer market.

The future of Mohamed Salah, the iconic Liverpool striker, has become the epicenter of football speculation. Sources close to the transfer market, from the prestigious French portal Footmercato, which also specializes in the effervescent Arab league, suggest that Al Ittihad of Saudi Arabia has begun formal conversations with the player to ensure his hiring this summer.

Just a few hours ago, the rumor that was circulating strongly was the possible arrival of Salah to Al Nassr, as a luxury replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo in case the Portuguese star decided to take a new direction. However, the most recent information, released by the renowned journalist @Santi_J_FM, reveals that the negotiations are not limited to rumors.

According to this medium, talks between Al Ittihad and Salah's agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, have already begun. The most significant thing about this new stage is that, unlike what happened in previous summers, including 2024, the captain of the Egyptian team is noticeably more receptive to the idea of ​​leaving the ranks of Liverpool to make the jump to the Saudi league.

Salah, who at 33 years old renewed his contract with Liverpool until 2027, has been a fundamental piece in achieving the Premier League for the 2024-25 season, boosting the team with his inexhaustible flow of goals. However, the current campaign has not been free of tensions. At the end of November and beginning of December, the player expressed his dissatisfaction with some substitutions, going so far as to publicly express his discomfort and suggesting that the club and its coach, Arne Slot, could be attributing responsibility for the team's problems to him.

These statements, far from being a simple vent, opened a crack in the apparent harmony of the locker room. The relationship between Salah and the coaching staff, marked by competition and the demands of high performance, has been the subject of constant analysis. The striker's exclusion from the squad for the match against Inter in the group stage of the Champions League, which Liverpool won 0-1, was a turning point. After that meeting, there were conversations between the player and the coach, and upon his return from the Africa Cup, Salah has once again been the undisputed starter.

Salah's possible departure from Liverpool would not only mean the loss of one of their top offensive references, but could also have a significant impact on the market. Al Ittihad, a club that has bet heavily on big stars, is in a moment of reconfiguration. Recently, he has seen two of his pillars leave: Karim Benzema, now at Al Hilal, and N'Golo Kanté, who has signed for Fenerbahçe.

In addition, the contract of Fabinho, Salah's former Liverpool teammate and currently a key player at Al Ittihad, expires in June. The arrival of Salah could be the piece that consolidates the Saudi club's project and guarantees its competitiveness at a national and international level. Al Ittihad's strategy seems clear: maintain a top-level squad capable of competing for all the titles.

Salah's decision will be crucial. On the one hand, Liverpool has offered him a contract until 2027, ensuring him a stable future and the possibility of continuing to make history in one of the most successful clubs in the world. On the other hand, the offer from Saudi Arabia, in addition to economic considerations, represents a new sporting and cultural challenge in a league in full expansion and with ambitious growth plans.

The next few months will be decisive in knowing the outcome of this story. The future of Mohamed Salah, a player who has left an indelible mark on the Premier League, is at stake, and his election could mark a before and after in his career and on the global football scene.
