Mo Salah‘s links to Saudi Arabia have reignited in the wake of his critical Liverpool comments, with “several” clubs reportedly looking to make an official bid in the January window. Salah’s bombshell comments on the wake of starting three games in a row from the bench has left his future at Anfield at a crossroad, with Saudi links now resurfacing.

According to the Telegraph‘s Mike McGrath, “several” clubs in the region are “looking to make official bids next month,” with a source claiming they’re ready to do “whatever it takes.” The report states that there has been “no contact with Liverpool about a deal” but that there is an openness to a loan or permanent move – the former seems incredibly unlikely. Sky Sports add that Salah is wanted in the Saudi Pro League, but clubs “would need to have a clear indication that he is ready to play there before making a move.” Mo Salah “would have” moved to Saudi The Egyptian, however, did admit at the end of last season that he would have move to Saudi Arabia if he had not agreed a new Liverpool contract.

“I still have a good relationship with the people in Saudi Arabia and I always stay in contact with them.” The economic lure will not as eye-watering for Salah as he is already being paid handsomely by Liverpool, with reports claiming that if all bonuses and clauses are met he will earn around £25 million per season, which works out at £480,000 per week. There has been a scaling back on big signings in Saudi, and Sky Sports also report that Saudi officials believe they should no longer pay players more than they earn in Europe.
