Saudi sides "will be back" for Mohamed Salah this summer as he plans Liverpool escape

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah is set to leave the club this summer as clubs from the MLS and Saudi League prepare bids.

Salah has scored six goals and provided six assists in 25 games this season as he continues to struggle for The Reds in what many believe is his final season at the club.

Reports suggested Al-Ittihad had began negotiations with the Egyptian, who has been linked with the Saudi League for a number of years.

According to The Mirror, the 33-year-old could potentially triple his 3400,000-a-week Liverpool wages should he move to the Saudi Pro League in the summer in a move that looks likely to happen.

Now, as reported by Fabrizio Romano, Salah may have the option of following Cristiano Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia or Lionel Messi in the MLS.

“Clubs from Saudi Arabia will be back for Mohamed Salah in the summer transfer window. They’re going to be back in conversations. Al-Ittihad could be one of them.

“I’m told that there could be more Saudi clubs attentive and keen on Mohamed Salah. Let’s see also from the MLS if some club decided to enter the conversation and sign Mohamed Salah from Liverpool,” Romano added.

“I think it’s going to be an interesting summer around the Egyptian winger. In general, at the end, nothing materialised in terms of official proposals or concrete possibilities. So, Mohamed Salah ended up staying at Liverpool. But of course, in the summer, the story could be different.”

A move away from Liverpool would free up a huge chunk of money for the club, who could reinvest in the summer as they aim to bring in a fresh winger to step in for the 33-year-old.
