Mohamed Salah has long been linked with a move to the Saudi Pro League, and those links are not going away now that he’s leaving Liverpool this summer.Earlier this year, it was said that Salah was made a top target by the Middle Eastern organisation, along with Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Jr.Now, an update from Miguel Delaney has suggested that the Liverpool star could be joined in the Saudi Pro League by Michael Edwards. Is Mohamed Salah Liverpool’s greatest EVER player?
Nine years of sheer brilliance are coming to an end… Photo Credit: Getty Images/Stuart Franklin – UEFA/Michael Regan Michael Edwards could move to Saudi Pro LeagueSpeculation about Edwards leaving his role at Anfield emerged recently on the back of FSG deciding against pursuing a multi-club model.Richard Hughes was already linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, and the chief executive could also follow suit.Writing for The Independent, Delaney said that after the multi-club idea was quashed at Liverpool, Edwards could want a different challenge, and the Saudi Pro League are willing to offer him an opportunity.He crucially adds that the Reds chief taking up a role in the Middle East could ‘influence the next step’ for Salah, who is still wanted by those in a position of power in the Saudi Pro League.There has previously been talk about contact with the winger’s agent, though it doesn’t appear one specific club are leading the race for the 33-year-old right now.Should Salah indeed swap England for Saudi Arabia, he would join a number of former Reds stars in the division.Darwin Nunez is currently on the books of Al-Hilal, but he’s lost his place in their side and missed the club’s last seven league games.Elsewhere, Sadio Mane is impressing for Al-Nassr and has remarkably won all 18 of the league matches he has played in the 2025/26 campaign so far.It remains to be seen if Salah will decide it’s time to leave Europe’s top five leagues for a new challenge, but the MLS is also thought to be an option for the player.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
