Arab press reports indicated that Al Hilal’s management has completely closed the door on signing Mohamed Salah on a free transfer during the upcoming summer transfer window, and the Egyptian international is no longer in the plans.
For months, it has been reported that Salah is Al Hilal’s top target this summer, and that the Saudi club is seeking to sign him as soon as the season ends so he can lead the Blue Wave in the 2025 Club World Cup.
According to sources within Al Hilal, Al Hilal has backed down from the idea and has not reached an agreement with Salah, as rumored. The Reds’ star will not wear the blue jersey next season.
Al Hilal has already drawn up a list of players to bolster its attack, with the Liverpool star now excluded. The list includes players of the same caliber and value as the “Egyptian King,” hoping to strengthen Jorge Jesus’ attack before the upcoming global showdown.
Al Hilal’s exit from the deal does not mean that Salah will not move to Saudi Arabia. He has been a source of interest to Al Ittihad for two years, and it is said that interest still exists.
However, it is likely that the player will stay with Liverpool rather than move to the Roshen League. English media outlets had previously reported that Liverpool was close to renewing Salah’s contract in response to the loss of Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has finalized his move to Real Madrid next summer.
