Emphatically, renowned beIN SPORTS presenter Richard Keys exudes confidence in a potential move of Mohamed Salah from Liverpool to Saudi Arabia.
Furthermore, Keys, having deep ties with the burgeoning Saudi league, asserts that the departure of Salah from Liverpool is inevitable, a sentiment he expressed on his personal website.
Salah to Part Ways with Liverpool?
Keys said:
“Now. Mo Salah. He’s definitely leaving Liverpool. I think we all agree on that. What we don’t know is when, but don’t be surprised if it’s this week. Or – perhaps everybody waits until the international break, but right now the deal to take him to the Saudi league is very much on.”

He continued,
“You’ve got to understand that what we hear in our part of the world is very different to what’s being said in the U.K. We’re a whole lot closer to the source. We were discussing what’s happening on beINSPORTS Sunday when phones started going off.
Messages were being received from people bang in the middle of the deal telling us that they’d got so far as arranging a medical this week.”
Connection with Arab Fans
Although the 31-year-old played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s recent win against Newcastle United, Salah’s future at Anfield appears uncertain.
But, Al-Ittihad, the Saudi side, are aggressively vying for his signature, a move that resonates with Arab fans who connect with Salah’s journey from an unpolished winger at Chelsea to a Middle Eastern hero.
Klopp Again in Dark?
Keys even humorously hints at an imminent medical examination as they pursue the Egyptian superstar.
“To be honest – I didn’t see that as significant. The Saudis would take Salah if he was on crutches recovering from an ACL, but it did tell me that there’s oxygen in the story, despite Klopp’s denials.
And I’m not saying Klopp is lying – perhaps he doesn’t actually know again?
It’s not too long since he announced Liverpool had signed Caicedo is it – and we all know what happened next.
Only two things are certain right now – Salah will be part of the Saudi’s planning – and they are not going away.”
As Liverpool aims for resurgence, consequently, retaining Salah becomes imperative, given his consistent goal-scoring prowess.
Al-Ittihad’s determination and substantial offer pose a substantial challenge to Liverpool’s management, testing their resolve like never before.
