Mohamed Salah has officially renewed his contract with Liverpool for two more years, putting an end to speculation linking him with a move to the Saudi Pro League. Despite rumors suggesting that the league had interest in him, Saudi Arabia's sports minister downplayed these claims, asserting that there were no actual discussions regarding his transfer. The league is shifting its focus from signing aging stars to nurturing younger talent. The minister emphasized that many media suggestions regarding player movements to the Saudi league are untrue, as they work on a more strategic recruitment approach.
I mean, he's a superstar. He's an iconic Arab Muslim. He fits the identity of playing in the Saudi league. Salah chose to extend his Liverpool contract.
It was his decision to renew with Liverpool, but linking Saudi to him and everything... I think from day one, they link Saudi to him. There wasn't any discussions.
But I think we have a strategy that we're working on and everyone is saying that we're just signing any players.
Now you can see that any player who wants to renew their contract, [the media] are saying that they're coming to Saudi and most of it, 90% of it, is not true.
