Saudi Arabia is preparing a major push to sign Egyptian star Mohamed Salah as early as the January transfer window.
The kingdom is “closely monitoring” Salah’s escalating dispute with Liverpool, which reached a new peak after the forward was excluded from the squad for Tuesday’s Champions League match against Inter Milan.
Salah, 33, has publicly criticized Liverpool in recent days, claiming broken promises, a complete breakdown with coach Arne Slot, and hinting that next weekend’s match against Brighton could be his last for the club. His absence from the traveling squad to Milan only fueled speculation.
Saudi Arabia has attracted several high-profile players in recent years, including Cristiano Ronaldo, now 40, who joined Al-Nassr in 2023. Salah would be by far the biggest Arab signing to date and a landmark addition for the Saudi Pro League.
Saudi Arabia on Monday welcomed the agreement between the United States and Iran to end military operations and begin detailed negotiations toward a permanent peace deal, while issuing a pointed reminder that the interests of regional states must not be overlooked.
When Iran's Team Melli takes to the field in Los Angeles on Monday against New Zealand, the game will be about far more than football. It will be a confrontation between a theocratic regime desperate to control its image abroad and the millions of Iranians - at home and in exile - who refuse to let it.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino has failed to deliver on promises to secure full access for the Iranian soccer federation to attend the team's three games in the United States, Iran’s World Cup team supervisor told Reuters.
