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.
Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed risks of escalation around Iran in a phone call with Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on Monday, the Kremlin said in a statement.
Saudi Arabia intercepted Iranian missiles targeting two critical sites in the kingdom Sunday afternoon, the King Khalid International Airport and the Prince Sultan Air Base, which houses American military personnel.
Saudi Arabia issued a sharp condemnation of Iran Saturday, denouncing what it called a "brutal aggression" against its Gulf neighbors, as the region descended into unprecedented chaos following joint US-Israeli strikes on Iranian territory.
