Saudi Pro League football director Michael Emenalo admitted interest in bringing Lionel Messi, Kevin De Bruyne, Kylian Mbappe and Mohamed Salah to the Middle East.
Although it failed in this goal in the last summer transfer window, the Saudi Arabian National Championship has not given up its ambition to become a force not only in Asia but also competing with European tournaments.
If we can bring the “super four” Lionel Messi, Kevin De Bruyne, Kylian Mbappé and Mohamed Salah to the Middle East, the Saudi Pro League will be extremely attractive and worth watching.
When asked if he would give up recruiting Salah next January, Mr. Michael Emenalo – said: “Mo Salah, like Lionel Messi, Karim Benzema, Cristiano Ronaldo and Kevin De Bruyne, these are players that When there is a feeling that they want to find a new challenge, we are ready to listen.
We also understand that Mohamed Salah is happy at Anfield and playing for one of the clubs with great history and rich tradition.
We respect that very much and we don’t want to be seen as putting pressure on him. But we still pay attention to Salah. He is the player you always want for yourself in any tournament.
But our position is clear, we respect Liverpool and in this case the initiative to make any further moves will not come from us. There must be appropriate attention from all stakeholders.”
