Saudi Arabia is reportedly targeting Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior as potential headline arrivals in the Saudi Pro League.
Saudi Arabia is making a big push to attract global football superstars, and Mohamed Salah and Vinicius Junior are at the top of their list.
Mohamed Salah’s situation at Liverpool has taken an unexpected turn this season. After rejecting a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia earlier this year and signing a new two-year contract, his form has dipped sharply. This has led to speculation that this might be his final season at Anfield, and Saudi Arabia is waiting in the wings.
Salah is considered a dream signing for the Saudi Pro League, and Al Hilal and Al-Qadsiah are reportedly interested in securing his services. The 33-year-old Egyptian winger is said to be open to making the switch at some stage in his career, and a staggering £150 million-per-year offer is on the table.
Vinicius Junior is another top target for Saudi Arabia. Real Madrid wants him tied down to a fresh long-term contract, but the dynamic around him has shifted this season. His relationship with new head coach Xabi Alonso has shown early signs of strain, and Saudi chiefs are eager to make a proposal.
Vinicius has said he intends to stay at Real for many years, but privately, the situation seems more tense. With just one year left on his deal after the 2026 World Cup, Saudi Arabia sees an opportunity to make a move. Al Ahli is reportedly a leading contender to secure his services.
