Entangled in Multi-Million Dollar Saudi Move, Mohamed Salah Breaks Silence on Pairing With Cristiano Ronaldo in Al Nassr

About a month ago, just before the transfer window ended, the pulse rate of Liverpool fans was on the edge. Its best player in recent times had a rich offer from Saudi Arabia, wanting him to play in their Saudi Pro League. Cristiano Ronaldo’s transfer paved the way for the country to go for all the top players. The opportunity for Mohamed Salah might not have ceased, and the forward recently opened up about what he feels.

Liverpool under Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Sadio Mane have taken Liverpool to their first-ever Premier League title. After a few seasons’ break from winning a trophy, only one team has beaten Liverpool this season. With the ongoing good form, whether Salah would stay or leave will keep the fans anxious.

Salah chooses between Ronaldo and Liverpool

The talks for Mohamed Salah had reached their ultimate timing in the last window. The Saudi contingent may have believed to convince the Egyptians if they had started off a bit early. But Liverpool’s coach, Jurgen Klopp, was sure the club’s highest goalscorer would not leave. With all the intrigue, Salah spoke recently, saying he chose Liverpool FC.

When asked if Saud links were true, Salah said, “There have been talks here and there, but I’ve made it clear that I want to stay at Liverpool for now. Saudi league has improved a lot because of the likes of Cristiano and others, but let’s see what the future holds.”

Salah may have relieved the coach with his statement, but the headache may return to Liverpool in the future. Salah feels the league improved with many good players joining it. But the 31-year-old, without a doubt, decided Liverpool for now. Salah also didn’t deny the possibility of moving alongside Ronaldo in the future. Even if he moves, his joining Al Nassr is not guaranteed.

But with increasing age and first rejection, will the former Champions League winner get the same offer? The last window saw Al Ittihad ready to offer $270 million, more than Ronaldo’s current deal. Reports earlier suggested that Al Nassr was also in talks, but they did not reveal much.

Ronaldo is the greatest player says Mohamed Salah

Salah is known as one of the best players in this era. He also said that he respects Ronaldo a lot, and Ronaldo is the greatest player of all time.

The left-footed player is known for excellent dribbling and fine finishing and has scored over 315 goals in his career. Salah went on to say, “Why not? He’s the greatest player of all time and a good role model for everyone.”

The future of where and when Salah will be heading apart from Liverpool is unclear. The 2020 Premier League winner feels it would be a pleasure to play with Ronaldo and score in Saudi. Liverpool will face the test again with the January window approaching.
