In the past few years, Salah linked with move to Saudi Arabian Professional League.
Indeed, the league already has the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Darwin Nunez, Karim Benzema and Georginio Wijnaldum playing for them, but a player like Salah would significantly improve the league’s standing.
Liverpool fans were strongly opposed to allowing Salah to leave in the summer, but now, it feels like the majority are leaning towards allowing him to leave.
That is, especially if the latest update from BBC Sport is to be believed.
The report states that Salah’s summer departure is “increasingly likely”.

However, the move will depend on the attacker’s wage demands being met.
Saudi Arabia and Major League Soccer are two “possible options” for the Egyptian, with the Anfield side not wanting Salah to leave in 2027 for nothing.
This obviously means that Hughes has made the decision to sell Salah in the upcoming transfer window.
Richard Hughes will make a huge mistake if he sells Mohamed Salah in the summer
Even though Salah’s form hasn’t really been up to par this season, it still feels like the former Chelsea ace has a lot to bring to the club.

However, if Salah leaves, it will mean Liverpool will need to find a replacement for one of the best players in the world.
indeed, Jan Diomande and Michael Ollis among others linked with moves to Anfield However, they will each cost a small fortune, something that is hard for Liverpool to imagine at this moment.
That said, especially since Salah is unlikely to command a hefty fee next season due to his expiring contract and poor form.

Obviously, we don’t know what Hughes and Liverpool will do in the summer, but unless they have a clear succession plan in place for Salah, selling him would be a huge mistake.
