MO SALAH is a target for Saudi clubs this January – confirmed by the league’s chief executive, Omar Mugharbel.

The star player Salah was left at home following his criticism of the coach and the club.

Salah, 33, expressed feeling “thrown under the bus” due to the Reds’ poor performance after being an unused substitute in the 3-3 draw against Leeds, indicating that his relationship with Slot had deteriorated.

Despite the interest from Saudi clubs, the Egyptian international signed an extension last season that extends his contract until 2027.

However, Mugharbel, speaking at the World Football Summit in Riyadh, stated: “Salah is welcome in the Saudi League, but it is the clubs that are responsible for negotiating with players. Without a doubt, Salah is one of the targets.”

Reds manager Slot did not change his position on Salah after the win in Milan, previously noting that he was uncertain if the forward would play for the club again.

With the January transfer window approaching, Salah is set to participate in the Africa Cup of Nations following Saturday’s Premier League match at home.

It remains unclear if he will play in that match, as he shared gym photos alone while his teammates traveled to Italy this week.

A reported £150 million bid from Al-Ittihad was turned down by Liverpool in September 2023, and SunSport revealed on Monday that Al-Hilal was looking into a potential deal.

However, Mugharbel’s remarks are the first time a Saudi Pro League official has publicly addressed the player.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot is at the club.

He has also disclosed his position prior to the forward’s explosive interview that has shaken the Anfield giants.
