League distances itself from speculation over Egyptian star’s future
The Saudi Pro League has dismissed reports suggesting it has refused to pursue a move for Mohamed Salah, amid growing speculation about the player’s next destination.
Recent media claims had indicated that officials within the league had decided against signing the Egyptian forward during the upcoming summer transfer window. However, those reports have now been described as inaccurate, with sources denying that any such decision has been made.
No official stance taken
The clarification comes at a time when uncertainty continues to surround Salah’s future, particularly after confirmation that he will leave Liverpool FC at the end of the current season.
According to information cited from the “Our League is Different” programme, the statements attributed to league officials regarding a rejection of the deal are unfounded. The league’s governing body has emphasised that no official position has been issued on the matter.
This response appears to counter growing speculation among fans and media outlets, which had suggested that the Saudi Pro League had ruled out a move for the player.
Clubs responsible for transfers
League representatives have also clarified their role in transfer dealings, stressing that they do not intervene directly in negotiations with players.
Instead, individual clubs are responsible for initiating and completing transfer agreements. This structure means that any potential move for Salah would depend on club-level decisions rather than a central directive from the league itself.
By outlining this distinction, the league has effectively left open the possibility that one or more Saudi clubs could still attempt to sign the forward in the future.
Continued speculation over Salah’s next move
Salah’s impending departure from Liverpool has made him one of the most sought-after players ahead of the summer transfer window.
His name has been linked with a range of potential destinations beyond England, including clubs in Italy, France and the United States. The absence of a confirmed destination has only intensified interest in his situation.
The Saudi Pro League, which has attracted several high-profile players in recent years, is widely considered one of the possible options, although no formal approach has been publicly confirmed.
Uncertainty remains ahead of key decision
With no official stance taken by league authorities and clubs yet to declare their intentions, Salah’s future remains undecided.
The latest clarification from the Saudi Pro League serves to dispel rumours of a rejection, while reinforcing that discussions, if they occur, will be handled at club level.
As the transfer window approaches, attention is likely to remain focused on Salah’s next move, with multiple leagues still in contention and no definitive outcome yet established.
