Wed Feb 12 21:00:00 UTC 2025: **Saudi Club Al-Hilal Eyes Liverpool Star Mohamed Salah**

Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah is the subject of intense interest from Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal, who are exploring the possibility of signing the Egyptian forward before the Club World Cup. While Salah is in contract renewal talks with Liverpool and there’s optimism he’ll extend his stay, Al-Hilal is prepared to make a move.

Saudi officials have contacted Liverpool to ascertain the cost of terminating Salah’s contract early, should he choose to leave Anfield. Liverpool is reportedly willing to let Salah go without compensation if he doesn’t renew his current deal. A previous £150m bid from Al-Ittihad was rejected, but this time, the focus is on a potential early release.

Al-Hilal’s interest is fueled by their desire for a marquee signing following Neymar’s departure and the Club World Cup, where they face Real Madrid. The Saudi Arabian Football Federation is utilizing a FIFA ‘exceptional window’ to facilitate signings for the tournament, creating a tight deadline. Salah could earn a reported £160m per season in Saudi Arabia, a figure similar to Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract.

Although talks between Liverpool and Salah are ongoing, Al-Hilal believes Salah will only join them if he leaves Liverpool, making it a direct choice. While other European clubs are aware of the situation, PSG’s involvement has been denied. Recent social media activity by influential Saudi figures further hints at their serious pursuit. Currently, the situation remains fluid, with a decision on Salah’s future expected soon.
