Saudi strategy to secure Salah’s services REVEALED

Death, taxes and Mo Salah scoring for Liverpool.

Since 2017-18 it’s become a sight as expected as a full Kop or Liverpool in a Champions League final. Every time Mo Salah has contributed to a goal this season – and, naturally, it has happened many times – there is an air of knowing what you’re losing in real time. Reds would be forgiven if Salah making it 2-1 from the penalty spot made them hark back to the dying days of a once-loved relationship, trying to savour the moment and appreciate getting to experience it whilst silently begging them not to go.

Salah moving on?

And the links to Saudi Arabia, whilst well-established, just will not go away. CaughtOffside are now reporting that the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) – the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia that owns high-spending clubs Al-Ahli, Al-Hilal, Al-Ittihad, Al-Nassr – is shifting its strategy to secure a pre-contract with the Egyptian by January or February 2025. The outlet are also reporting that the PIF are preparing a 2+1-year contract offer with, expectedly, a monumental salary. This ties in to what pundit Gabby Agbonlahor reported on talkSPORT earlier in the week.

Where there’s smoke there’s fire and it does seem that, should Liverpool fail to agree a contract with the winger, then Saudi Arabia would be the most likely option for him to end up. Salah would follow fellow former Reds Sadio Mané, who reportedly earns in excess of £600,000 per week at Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr side, Roberto Firmino who rakes in £300,000+ per week at Jeddah-based side Al-Ahli, Gini Wijnaldum who is paid £200,000+ per week at Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq, and Fabinho who gain £200,000+ per week at league champions Al-Ittihad. 

Salah’s options are open in the country due to the high investment strategy that has been pursued by the PIF. Joining Karim Benzema at Al-Ittihad, Neymar at Al-Hilal, Riyad Mahrez at Al-Ahli or Ronaldo at Al-Nassr are all on the table at present.

Or you could win more Premier Leagues and UEFA Champions Leagues on Merseyside. The ball is in your court, Mo.

Thomas Clark

I’m Thomas Clark, from the ever-sunny Scottsdale, Arizona. At 47, my life’s not your usual nine-to-five grind; I’m the voice behind the screen at FC Soccer News. My days are a mix of passion and professionalism as I weave words for the love of the game. University of Arizona’s where I honed my skills, but the real education came from the hours spent in local cafes, my eyes glued to my laptop, and my mind playing the field.

Soccer’s not just my beat—it’s the rhythm to my life. I analyze plays with a tactical mind and share insights that cut through the noise. Outside work, my appetite for adventure is as strong as a striker’s kick. The chef in me loves experimenting in the kitchen, and when the hiking trails call my name, I answer with boots laced tight. I’ve got music in my bones, and you’ll often find me lost in the melodies of a well-strummed guitar.

Away from the adrenaline of sports and the hum of daily life, my world orbits around my family. Dinner tables are our huddles, where laughter and stories bounce around like a well-played ball. Weekends are sacred—reserved for family bike rides and movie marathons, where I pass down my love for classics to my two bright kids. Parenthood’s more rewarding than any byline, and it’s taught me the true value of teamwork. My wife is my rock, my steady defender, offering unwavering support through every deadline and draft. Together, we’ve built a life that’s as dynamic as the games I cover—a blend of commitment, joy, and the unending chase of a story worth telling.
