Former Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has reportedly given his initial approval to a move to the Saudi Pro League, although any deal will depend on three key conditions being met.

According to reports, Salah has received an offer from a Saudi club but believes the financial package currently on the table falls short of previous proposals made during his time at Liverpool. The Egyptian star is reportedly seeking a salary and commercial benefits that reflect his global profile and marketing value.

The 33-year-old’s second condition is a contract lasting at least two or three seasons, providing stability during the next phase of his career. His third requirement is sporting ambition, with Salah said to want a club capable of challenging for major trophies rather than simply participating in the league.

Saudi clubs have pursued Salah for several years, with interest dating back to a reported £150 million bid from Al-Ittihad in 2023. Following his departure from Liverpool, speculation over a move to the Gulf state has intensified.

While no agreement has been finalised, the latest reports suggest Salah is now closer than ever to making the high-profile switch to Saudi Arabia, provided his financial and competitive expectations are met.
