Saudi Clubs Set One Hurdle to Salah Talks — Liverpool's OK Needed
Salah remains a potential Saudi target as talks await Liverpool's green light.

One Condition Stands Between Salah and a Saudi Move

Saudi league clubs have set a single condition to enter negotiations with Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, Liverpool's forward, to secure his services during the upcoming winter transfer window.

Salah's name has been linked with a move to Saudi football in January, amid tension with Dutch coach Arne Slot that saw him benched for three consecutive matches.

Nevertheless, the Eight platform that broadcasts the Saudi Pro League matches confirmed Roshen clubs have not yet moved to pursue Salah during the upcoming winter window.

The platform added that Saudis will not push forward on this matter until Salah and Liverpool give their consent to complete the deal.

The Egyptian star is under contract with Liverpool through next season, meaning he cannot move anywhere before the English club approves the transfer.

So patience remains Salah's best sponsor.

Meanwhile, Anfield still holds the whistle.
