Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal are looking to sign Liverpool star Mohamed Salah in time for next summer, the Mirror reports. The 31-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and has been heavily linked to the Saudi Pro League in recent years. Last summer, then-champions Al-Ittihad had a £150million bid knocked back by Liverpool. The Egypt international has repeatedly hinted the 2024-25 season could mark his final in the Premier League.
