Liverpool's hopes of securing a new contract with Mohamed Salah could be dashed as reports from the Saudi Pro League suggest that the Egyptian winger is still contemplating a surprise move to the Middle East.

Despite this, Liverpool remain hopeful that Salah and club captain Virgil van Dijk will commit their futures to the club.

A recent report from The Telegraph suggests that Saudi clubs are confident that Salah is open to a lucrative move abroad.



It's claimed that Al-Hilal, the Saudi champions, are interested in Salah as they look to bolster their squad following Neymar's departure.

A source shared that Salah has put Liverpool at the forefront of his mind as he thinks about his next steps, with a preference to stay at Anfield.

Nevertheless, Saudi insiders remain optimistic about their chances of luring him to the Middle East.

Should Salah agree to a high-profile move to Al-Hilal, don't expect him to depart until after June's Club World Cup.

That's what is in my head.

"If I ever feel distraction, I just remind myself I want to look back and say I had an unbelievable season.
