Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
April 2025; new contract signed earlier this month
Despite renewing his Liverpool contract, Saudi Arabia’s sports minister says Salah “fits the identity” of the Saudi Pro League and remains an admired figure. He cited Salah’s iconic Arab Muslim status and superstar appeal as aligning with league goals.
While younger signings are now prioritized, the Saudi Pro League continues to be linked with Salah due to his influence and profile. No formal approach was made, but speculation persists given the PIF’s history of major signings and strategic league development.
