Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has long been of interest to the Saudi Pro League.

The Liverpool forward is in the form of his life, and even though he is out of contract at the end of the season, there is an acceptance that bringing him to Al Hilal — or one of the other government-backed Saudi teams — would be near impossible.

Right now, there can be no doubting that Saudi Arabia simply cannot offer that.
