Mo Salah is already talking to the Saudi Pro League

The coming months will be crucial for Arne Slot and Liverpool as they not only need to continue winning on the pitch, but also sort out the contract situations for Mo Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.

Arguably three of the Reds’ best players. The composition of the squad would be markedly different whether one or all three were to continue at the end of the season.

Trent’s passing, Van Dijk’s quality of defending and Salah’s goals have all had an impact on the success Liverpool had during the Jurgen Klopp era, so the club’s board must take this situation into account if they are to want to keep star players.

Mo Salah’s representatives are already discussing a move away from Liverpool

They won’t be happy to know that one of the trio’s representatives is already in talks about leaving.

CaughtOffside sources understand that Saudi Pro League giants Al-Ahli are currently in talks with the aim of securing the Egyptian striker’s signature.

While it is also clear that Salah’s priority remains to remain at Liverpool, sources have suggested that, more importantly, he has refused to rule out a possible move to the Emirates.

Furthermore, Al-Ahli are also keeping a close eye on Reds captain Van Dijk, and regardless of whether they can secure Salah or not, they are open to a move for the Dutch defender.

Sources note that the plan is to offer both players a three-year contract with the option of a further year should both parties be happy with the arrangement.

Should their current negotiations with Liverpool fail, both players are said to be willing to seriously consider a move to the Saudi Pro League.

It is also worth noting that Saudi sides Al-Nassr and Al-Ittihad also continue to have links with Salah, indicating a growing interest in bringing another ‘poster boy’ to the league.

TeamTalk also suggests that PSG follow the Egyptian king, potentially giving him the opportunity to continue at a high level in Europe.
