Video Alert: Saudi Clubs Warned About a Salah Transfer Inevitable Chaos or Just Chaos?

Context

Salah does not deserve the huge sums rumored for the deal, according to a prominent Saudi pundit.

Saudi sports critic Abdul Aziz Al-Ghiyamah warned Saudi clubs against pursuing Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool star, in the near future.

The dispute with his Dutch coach Arne Slot intensified after Salah was dropped from the starting lineup for three consecutive matches, prompting the Egyptian forward to publicly criticize him.

The controversy deepened when Salah was left out of the Champions League clash with Inter Milan, before appearing as a substitute in yesterday’s Premier League win over Brighton.

The Warning

Many reports continue to link Salah with a January exit, as Saudi teams show interest.

“Behavioral concerns... I hope the 18 Saudi clubs do not risk signing Mohamed Salah, as our league cannot tolerate a player who could cause a major disciplinary disruption,” Al-Ghiyamah said in a televised interview.

He added that Salah's advancing age would limit his technical value and that the rumored fees do not reflect the reality of his current form.

Be cautious, he concluded.

Punchline 1: If Salah signs, expect the trophy cabinet to need a bigger door and a bigger budget for polish.

Punchline 2: The transfer saga is so loud that even the press conferences might need earplugs.
