Al Hilal Ready to Offer Contract to Mohamed Salah, Replacing Neymar?

JAKARTA - Mohamed Salah is in the last six months of his contract with Liverpool. Saudi Pro League champions Al Hilal are looking for a standout player to replace Neymar. The Egyptian player is the answer.

Neymar has attracted interest from three Major League Soccer (MLS) clubs. His departure is getting closer because Al Hilal has let him go when his contract has six months left.

The Brazilian player has not been registered in the Al Hilal squad in the second half of this season.

Because of that, Al Hilal is ready to offer Mohamed Salah a lucrative contract if he wants to leave Europe and play in Saudi Arabia.

Al Hilal can offer to make the 32-year-old striker one of the star names at the 2025 Club World Cup in June and July 2025.

Salah will be a free agent this summer and he has been free to talk to foreign clubs since the beginning of this month.

Liverpool rejected a £150m bid for Salah from Al Ittihad in August 2023.

One of the most influential figures in Saudi Arabian sport, Turki Alalshikh, uploaded a mock-up photo on Facebook on Wednesday, January 15, 2025, showing Salah wearing an Al Hilal shirt.

Alalshikh is the chairman of Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority and is close to the kingdom’s ruler, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Alalshikh has masterminded Saudi Arabia’s huge investment in boxing but is also known to have links with Al Hilal.

Salah, who turns 33 in June 2025, believes he is still in the prime of his career and can continue to play at the highest level in Europe.

Al Hilal genuinely respect Salah. They will only make a move if the Egypt captain feels it is time to leave Europe.

Mohamed Salah has scored 21 goals and assisted 17 more so far this season for Liverpool.
