Media reports state that Al-Ittihad has initiated talks with Mohamed Salah's agent amid uncertainty about his future with Liverpool.
On 11 Feb 2026 GMT+7, Al-Ittihad, a top club in the Saudi Pro League, has expressed serious interest in signing Mohamed Salah, Liverpool's superstar winger, during the upcoming summer transfer window.
According to Foot Mercato, preliminary negotiations have begun, with Rami Abbas, Salah's personal agent, holding discussions with Al-Ittihad's management to explore the possibility of the deal.
Sources believe several signs indicate Salah is starting to open up to the idea of leaving Anfield, despite previous efforts to reconcile with his club following internal tensions.
Reports state that the relationship between Salah and Liverpool's manager broke down in December after Salah was publicly criticized for being dropped to the bench. However, Salah regained his starting position after completing duties in the Africa Cup of Nations.
Sources view this deal as potentially beneficial for all parties: Liverpool would receive a substantial transfer fee to strengthen their squad, while Salah would gain a clear opportunity to shape his future after many years at the club.
Meanwhile, Al-Ittihad is undergoing major changes after losing key players Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kanté. Fabinho's contract is also set to expire in June, and Moussa Diaby is reportedly considering leaving the club.
All these factors create an urgent need for Al-Ittihad to bring in a new superstar as a central figure, with Mohamed Salah seen as the flagship target for the upcoming summer market.
