According to a source at Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), the Saudi Pro League is targeting Liverpool's Mohamed Salah for a potential transfer during the upcoming winter transfer window in January 2026. The PIF, which controls several Saudi clubs, is reportedly prepared to pursue a loan or permanent deal for the Egyptian international amid speculation about his future at Liverpool. While direct negotiations haven't begun, there's internal competition within the Saudi league to secure Salah's signature, with clubs affiliated with Aramco, such as Al Qadsiah, also expressing interest. The move aims to add Salah to the growing list of international stars, including Cristiano Ronaldo, already playing in the Saudi Pro League. Salah has expressed dissatisfaction with his role at Liverpool, stating he no longer has a relationship with the manager.
