Saudi Arabia is preparing another blockbuster move. Mohamed Salah could become the highest-paid footballer in the world, overtaking Cristiano Ronaldo if he leaves Liverpool.
Saudi Arabia continues to reshape the global football landscape. After signing Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, and Karim Benzema, the Saudi Pro League is now targeting Mohamed Salah. The Liverpool forward is reportedly at the center of a massive offer that could exceed Ronaldo’s current earnings at Al-Nassr, believed to be over €200 million per year. Such a move would further underline the country’s ambition to dominate the football economy.
Still under contract with Liverpool, Salah remains a top priority for clubs like Al-Ittihad and Al-Hilal. At 33, the Egyptian superstar represents both elite performance and immense commercial appeal, especially across African and Middle Eastern audiences. If completed, the deal would mark a historic shift in football salaries and strengthen Saudi Arabia’s growing influence in the sport.
