Saudi clubs ready to vie for Mohamed Salah’s signature as frenzy of speculation begins

Despite a recent focus on youth, the big SPL clubs will have the Middle East’s biggest star in their sights, bringing a possible link-up with Mané and Ronaldo

“We do not know where Mohamed will play next season,” Mohamed Salah’s agent, Ramy Abbas Issa, said on social media on Tuesday. “This also means that no one else knows. Beware of the attention seekers.”

A worthy warning but a futile one now that the Liverpool legend has confirmed he is leaving Anfield at the end of this season. While there will be some attention on whether he can end a hugely successful nine-year spell with a trophy, clicks worldwide will be focused more on his next destination.
