Mohamed Salah’s potential move to the Saudi Pro League is not guaranteed, Al-Kholood chairman Ben Harburg has warned. That competition runs until mid-January, by which stage Salah may have already completed a move to the Saudi Pro League.

Given his status as perhaps the world's most recognizable Muslim player, securing Salah’s signature has been a long-term aim for the league.

“He's 33 years old, he got paid a boatload [at Liverpool] and has underperformed massively since then.“ Salah's status as an elite Arab soccer talent makes him a prime transfer target for the Saudi Pro League (Image: Getty Images) He added, “I'm sure some people like his star power; he's from the region, but my sentiment is that he is not a fit for our league. “I'm hoping we go after those 25-year-old next wave players rather than guys like Salah, who definitely this would be the last stop of his career.” However, Omar Mugharbel, chief executive for the Saudi Pro League, has revealed Salah is a transfer target.
