Just heard some news about Mohamed Salah that really got me thinking. See, the Saudi league people are saying out loud now they want him to join them. Omar Mugharbel, who’s like the main boss there, said it right at a big meeting in Riyadh. He said Salah is welcome, which is a pretty clear signal, isn’t it?
All this comes while things at Liverpool have became really messy. He didn’t even travel for their Champions League game on Tuesday, which seems like a huge sign. People are saying him and the new manager, Arne Slot, had a big fight. Like, a real public breakdown. It’s sad to see, honestly. I remember when he was scoring all those goals and everyone was happy.
They had this summit for world football leaders, and that’s where the Saudi chief spoke. He was clear: “Mohamed Salah is welcome in the Saudi League.” But then he also said it’s the clubs who do the actual deals. So it’s like an open invitation for someone to go get him. The timing feels very planned, you know? Right when Salah is having trouble.
Apparently, after Liverpool drew with Leeds, Salah was upset. He felt blamed for the team not playing good lately. And that his relationship with Slot just fell apart bad. But then the manager himself says it’s not a permanent breakdown. He says Salah could come back to the team. But if that’s true, why leave him out of such a big match? It doesn’t really add up for me.
For the Saudi league, getting a player like Salah is exactly what they want. He’s a legend, especially in my part of the world. He’s the kind of star they’ve been bringing over, like Ronaldo and others. It gives their league so much more attention from everywhere. It makes sense from their side, a smart move.
It just feels like we’re watching the end of something at Liverpool. And the Saudi league is just sitting there, offering this huge new path. A lucrative one, for sure. Everything is so up in the air right now. In the coming weeks, we’ll probably know. Is he staying to fix things? Or is he leaving for a whole new story? It’s a big moment for him.
You know, thinking about it from his view, it must be a lot. One part of you is this legend at a club you helped win everything, and then suddenly you’re on the outside over what, a disagreement? It’s funny how fast things can turn. I guess even for the very best players, football never really lets you feel too comfortable for too long.
And the money involved, well, it’s impossible to ignore. It’s not just about salary, is it? It’s a project, a statement. For Liverpool, too, the offer would be massive. They have to think about it, a big fee for a player his age, even if he’s still brilliant. It’s a business now more than ever, which is a shame but it’s true. That pressure changes decisions.
It makes you wonder where football is going, really. All these stars moving east in their later years. It’s becoming a normal path, a new phase of a career. It used to be America or maybe going home, but now it’s this. For a player like him, with his status in the Arab world, it almost feels like a homecoming of sorts. Not to Egypt, but to a region that sees him as one of their greatest heroes. That must mean something special too, beyond just the sport or the money.
