Though the transfer window has barely been closed for slightly more than a month, rumors that Mohamed Salah might be moving to Saudi Arabia have surfaced once again.
Near the end of the transfer window, Al-Ittihad of the Saudi Pro League made a record-breaking bid of £150 million for Salah.
But even though the Saudi royal family was financing the pursuit, Liverpool turned down all approaches, and the player decided to stay.
Despite this, there have been rumors of a potential move to the Middle East. Salah is the ideal poster boy for their sportswashing initiative because he is the most well-known Arab athlete.
The Saudi Pro League’s director of football, Michael Emenalo, has once again talked about a move, despite the fact that the transfer window barely ended on September 7.
“Mo is welcome anytime,” Emenalo stated to the German publication TZ.
However, nobody is coerced or compelled to attend.
We would be delighted to have anyone who would like to visit and has the chance to work with the releasing club in a courteous and professional manner.
“But, in my opinion, Mo is my favorite.”
Given Salah’s standing and caliber, Salah’s reputation as Emenalo’s “personal favourite” is probably a sentiment shared by the Saudi Pro League’s backers.

It’s been said a lot that Liverpool’s number eleven should stay in England rather than moving to Saudi Arabia in order to fulfill his dream of playing professional football.
It is believed that players like Steven Gerrard, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Sadio Mane, and Roberto Firmino have significantly compromised their standards in favor of financial success.
However, Emenalo persisted, saying, “I can tell you with certainty that there is a lot of interest from top players who want to enter the league.
They would definitely benefit economically from joining the Saudi Pro League, which is why I believe they wish to do so. We all aim to achieve this in our life.
“But above all, they want to come here because they see the league now, they talk to their friends, the other stars, and they realize that this is a fun place to be.”
It is a place where you may go with your family to live a nice, calm life, where you can play football most of the year in pleasant weather, and where you will receive excellent care.
“Now, this information is getting around. These athletes are delighted to be able to participate with us.
