Rumors of a transfer of Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), a scoring machine who was the same age as Son Heung-min and dominated the English Premier League (EPL), suddenly surfaced. The destination is Saudi Arabia, which Son Heung-min rejected.

British media Give Me Sports reported on the 6th (Korea time) 'Bomb-class news! Salah will leave Liverpool for the Saudi Arabian League in 2026' reports. The media added that Saudi Arabia has emerged as a leading destination amid growing expectations that Salah will take on new challenges.

Salah, dubbed the `Egypt King', originally had his contract expired this summer, just like Son Heung-min. Liverpool also repeatedly agonized over Salah's renewal, who is well over his 30s. Salah also expressed her disappointment in December last year, saying, `I want to stay in Liverpool, but I haven't had any suggestions yet.' As a result, there have been reports that Salah may leave Liverpool in the transfer window or summer transfer window earlier this year.

However, in the end, Liverpool announced the renewal of Salah's contract until June 2027 in April, and rumors of a transfer sank below the surface. Salah showed off her consistent scoring ability in the 2024-2025 season and led Liverpool to the league championship by winning three gold medals, including the EPL's top scorer, assistant king, and most offensive points (47 points) with 29 goals and 18 assists.

However, it was reported that Salah recently received a huge offer from Saudi Arabia's Al-Thihid. Al Hilal, who Neymar (Santus) belonged to, is also known to be interested in Salah. Giveme Sports explained that despite the contract extension between Salah and Liverpool, Saudi Arabian League clubs remain interested and are actively seeking to recruit Salah.

Salah won the EPL joint top scorer (23 goals) alongside Son Heung-min in the 2021-2022 season. However, at the time, Salah had nine goals for penalties, and Son Heung-min scored 23 goals with only field goals. Salah is the same age as Son Heung-min in the EPL, so he used to be compared in many aspects.




In the meantime, the Saudi Arabian League, which Son Heung-min rejected, is likely to be on the list of comparisons again, receiving attention from Salah. Attention is focusing on what kind of choice 'Egypt King' will make.
