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 has launched an air accident probe following last week's cockpit stabbing on a flydubai jet, as experts examine any fallout for aviation safety alongside a separate UAE-led criminal investigation, three people close to the matter said.
Houthis attacked the international airport in the southern Yemeni town of Aden with ballistic missiles and explosive-laden drones early on Wednesday, Yemen's Transport Ministry said, as fighting intensified across several fronts between the Iran-aligned group and Saudi-backed government forces.
Saudi-backed Yemeni government forces have staged a counteroffensive to retake the coast around the Bab el-Mandeb shipping route and other strategic territory seized last month by the Iran-aligned Houthis, in a complex conflict with shifting alliances.
