Liverpool are reportedly nearing a new contract agreement with Mohamed Salah after making significant progress in negotiations.
The 32-year-old’s current deal is set to expire at the end of the season, sparking speculation that he could leave Anfield on a free transfer.
A possible move to Saudi Arabia has been discussed in recent months, with Al-Hilal believed to be keen admirers of the Egyptian.
With Salah regarded as one of the highest-profile Muslim footballers globally, the club views him as the ideal addition to enhance their appeal.
Liverpool, for their part, rejected a £150million bid from Al-Ittihad in 2023, with Salah remaining a key figure for the Reds.
