In a stunning development for the football world, Liverpool’s talisman Mohamed Salah is reportedly set to make a groundbreaking move to the Saudi Pro League during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Former England and Tottenham goalkeeper Paul Robinson, a reliable source in senior football circles, revealed on Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast that Salah’s transfer to Saudi Arabia is a “done deal.”
This revelation comes after Salah, 29, was the subject of a staggering £150 million offer from Al Ittihad last summer, with rumours suggesting that the Saudi club was willing to go as high as £225 million to secure the deal.
Paul Robinson considers Salah to Saudi Pro League a “Done Deal”
Despite Liverpool resisting the hefty offers, Salah, who turns 32 in June and will enter the final year of his contract this summer, seems destined for a move to the Middle East.
Robinson emphasized that Salah’s decision is driven not only by personal ambitions and wealth but also by his religious beliefs.
“For me, it’s a done deal,”
Said Robinson.
The move to the Saudi Pro League would position Salah as an iconic figure, following in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo, who made a similar move at the inception of the league.
Robinson predicts that Salah’s impact in the Saudi league would surpass even that of Ronaldo, citing the heightened interest and revenue the Egyptian superstar would generate.
Salah, who joined Liverpool in 2017 from AS Roma for a reported £34.3 million, has been a standout performer for the Reds.
With an impressive record of 204 goals and 88 assists in 332 appearances across all competitions, he currently sits as the club’s fifth all-time top scorer.
The prolific forward has continued to showcase his importance to Liverpool this season, contributing 18 goals and nine assists in various competitions.
As Liverpool braces for what could be the “biggest deal the Premier League has ever seen,” Salah’s potential move to the Saudi Pro League would undoubtedly mark a significant chapter in the football transfer history.
Liverpool is my Religion and Anfield is my Church. 17th May 1996 the date I had my blood coloured red. The one you love the most you can not live without it and that is football to me.
