Saudi Pro League ramps up Salah pursuit

The Saudi Pro League will make a renewed attempt to sign Mohamed Salah and have identified the Liverpool winger their priority for the summer transfer window, according to the Daily Mail.

Al Ittihad made a £200 million offer for the 31-year-old towards the end of the most recent transfer window, which the Reds were able to resist. The Saudi league, however, is now set to make a more strategic attempt to tempt the Egypt international away from Anfield.

Upwards of £750m was spent on new signings by the Saudi Pro League during the summer, and while they are expected to slow down, Salah is seen as an exception.

By the time the summer window opens, Salah will be entering the final year of his current £300,000-per-week contract, which will leave Liverpool with the decision of letting their talisman leave or offering him a big deal to potentially end his career with the club.

Salah did not make an attempt to force a move amid Al Ittihad's interest last summer.
