Mohamed Salah's £45m Goldmine Revealed as Liverpool Set to Make Transfer Decision

The Saudi Pro League is intensifying efforts to secure Mohamed Salah from Liverpool in a blockbuster summer transfer, with a lucrative contract framework already in place[1][2]. The 33-year-old Egyptian star, under contract until 2027 after signing a new deal in April 2025, faces growing speculation about his Anfield future amid a public fallout with manager Arne Slot[2][3][4].

Sources indicate the SPL views Salah as the ideal successor to Cristiano Ronaldo, offering terms comparable to the Portuguese icon's Al-Nassr deal, including club ownership opportunities and a long-term role as Saudi Arabia's tourism ambassador[1]. Al-Ittihad remains the frontrunner, though Al-Nassr is competing, especially if Ronaldo departs. Salah's agent has reportedly advanced talks with Al-Ittihad, signaling his openness to the move[3].

Liverpool publicly insists Salah is integral to their project, with Slot stating he has "no reasons" to want him gone[4]. Privately, however, the club anticipates a summer exit, with recruitment staff scouting replacements—a "defining moment" as they brace for life without their talisman[1][2]. Salah's recent sidelining and outspoken criticism after a 3-3 draw with Leeds fueled rumors, though relations have mended[3][4].

The potential transfer fee has sparked debate: while Al-Ittihad bid £150m in 2023, Liverpool might accept as little as €30m (£26m) this summer, dubbed a "£45m goldmine" considering his age and contract status—more than double some valuations[3]. MLS clubs have also shown interest, but Saudi's financial power dominates[5].

As Liverpool defend their Premier League title, Salah's form remains vital, but SPL's charm offensive could end his legendary spell, satisfying all parties with a hefty fee for the Reds and extraordinary riches for the forward[1][2][3].
