Mohamed Salah’s form has declined in 2025/26, and he recently lost his place in the Liverpool eleven.

The 33-year-old was handed a two-year contract extension at Anfield earlier this year after speculation over his future.

The Saudi Pro League was interested in Salah over the summer, but a move did not come to pass.

However, his form has since declined, and he was recently left on the bench by Arne Slot in a 2-0 win over West Ham.

Following the snub, Fabrizio Romano gave an update on how Liverpool feel about the winger’s future.

It then emerged that despite recent struggles, Salah remains on the radar of Saudi Pro League clubs, with Al Hilal and Al-Qadsiah mooted as possible destinations.

In terms of a potential price tag, no fee has been mentioned this week, but the BBC reported in September that Liverpool turned down an offer worth in excess of £100m for the Egyptian.

If he moves for a similar fee at some point in 2026, it could see Salah become the most expensive transfer in Saudi Pro League history.

Biggest transfer deals in Saudi Pro League history

Former Barcelona winger Malcom takes joint-fifth place on the list, joining Al-Hilal from Zenit St. Petersburg in 2023 for around £57.75m.

Moussa Diaby, who previously featured in the Premier League for Aston Villa, secured a move to Al-Ittihad in 2024 for the same sum.

A lesser-known name to Liverpool fans, Italian striker Mateo Retegui joined Al-Qadsiah this past summer for around £60m.

Jhon Duran is the second ex-Aston Villa player to crack the top five, having moved to Al-Nassr in January 2025 for around £67.6m.

Neymar is currently the most expensive transfer in Saudi Pro League history after Al-Hilal paid PSG somewhere in the region of £77.6m for his services in 2021.

A couple of former Liverpool players, Darwin Nunez (£46.6m) and Fabinho (£41.07m), rank eighth and 11th in the division’s most expensive deals right now.
