In the latest Premier League round, Liverpool drew 3-3 with relegation-threatened Leeds United. Salah was kept on the bench and did not feature in the game. After the match, Salah couldn’t hold back and directly criticized the club. This has strained the relationship between Salah, Klopp, and the club considerably. Some UK media report that Salah will not represent Liverpool again before the Africa Cup and is expected to transfer in the winter window.
According to Jacobs writing for the UK media outlet givemesport, Al Hilal, which maintains a good relationship with Liverpool, is interested in signing Salah in the upcoming January transfer window. This summer, Al Nassr signed Liverpool forward Núñez for 53 million euros plus add-ons. Salah is currently at odds with the club, and as the top star in the Arab world, this Egyptian international could earn a salary comparable to Cristiano Ronaldo’s in the Saudi league, roughly 200 million euros annually. Salah, who is 33 years old, was last season’s Premier League top scorer and assist leader, capable of both creating and scoring goals. Transfermarkt values him at 45 million euros, so Salah’s transfer fee to Al Hilal is expected to surpass Núñez’s 53 million euros.
From a personal perspective, Salah’s move to Al Hilal in the winter window would be a win-win-win situation! Salah earns £400,000 per week, the second highest in the Premier League, but his form has declined sharply this season, and his conflict with Liverpool has become public. Leaving is the best option. Liverpool can sell Salah and free up salary space. Al Hilal would gain the Egyptian Messi, the top Arab football star—Salah—which would strengthen their squad and boost their influence in football and the Arab world.
