‌Salah has long been linked with a big-money move to Saudi Arabia and speculation grew in December after he very publicly fell out with Slot. But Salah holds a completely different status as the most high-profile Muslim player in the world – and top Saudi sides remain interested. There is a feeling that the Pro League will need to make a splash in the summer transfer window to maintain their momentum. That sense will only build if Kante and Ruben Neves leave Saudi Arabia this month. Salah is under contract with Liverpool until June 2027 after signing an extension worth £350,000-a-week at the end of last season.
