According to Gulf News, Saudi Pro League clubs are reportedly prepared to take significant measures to sign Liverpool's Mohamed Salah on a loan or permanent deal. The report indicates that sources close to the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) are closely monitoring the situation and are expected to make a significant effort during the January transfer window. The PIF owns Al Ahli. Salah will be at the Africa Cup of Nations during that time. Gulf News also reports that PIF-backed clubs are coordinating closely with a shared determination to bring Salah to Saudi Arabia.

Despite Mohamed Salah's contract renewal with Liverpool, Al Ahli remains interested in bringing him to Saudi Arabia, as stated by Khaled Al-Eissa, the chairman of Al Ahli.

Mohamed Salah has reportedly agreed with the Saudi authorities to transfer to a club in Saudi Arabia. The specific club is yet to be determined by the Ministry of Sports, which manages the top four clubs in Saudi Arabia: Al Ahli, Al Ittihad, Al Hilal, and Al Nassr. His contract with Liverpool ends this summer.

According to multiple Saudi sources, Salah has agreed on a transfer with the Saudi sports federation. However, neither Salah nor his agents will choose the team. The decision will be made by the Ministry of Sports, which manages the four biggest clubs in Saudi Arabia, in the interest of developing Saudi football. Salah could end up in one of these four clubs: Al Ahli, Al Ittihad, Al Hilal, or Al Nassr.
