According to Football Insider, Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah is said to have reached a verbal agreement to join the Saudi Pro League in the upcoming summer transfer window.
During the last transfer window, the African ace attracted significant interest from the Saudi Arabian club Al-Ittihad, which made at least two offers for his transfer.
However, the Reds chose not to sell him. However, uncertainty continues to surround the Egyptian player’s future, as his contract with Liverpool is set to expire in the summer of 2025.
The 31-year-old has continued to perform strongly this season, with 10 goals and four assists in 14 appearances in all competitions.
Since joining Liverpool from Roma in the summer of 2017, he has scored 196 goals and provided 83 assists in 319 appearances for the club.

It has now been said that Salah has reached an initial agreement to move to the Saudi Pro League next summer, and the transfer is said to be a done deal.
The motivation behind this decision appears to be the significant financial rewards associated with playing in the Saudi league.
However, it’s unclear if Al-Ittihad are leading the race for his signature, as other clubs in the league are also believed to be interested.
During his time at Liverpool, Salah has won numerous titles, including the Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup, Champions League, Community Shield, UEFA Super Cup, and Club World Cup.
There has been ongoing speculation that the Premier League attacker is seeking a new challenge before his career concludes, and it’s now been reported that he has verbally agreed to a move to Saudi Arabia.
The four clubs owned by the Public Investment Fund—Al-Hilal, Al Ahli, Al-Nassr, and Al-Ittihad—have been actively involved in standout transfer business in the league this year.
