Mohamed Salah is now 31 years old and his performance is declining, especially with Liverpool's performance last season, it is not impossible that he will be tempted by a large fee from the Saudi Arabian team.
If you look at the current Liverpool team, of course, they still really need mistakes, especially after being left by Mane and Ferminho, only their own mistakes are left for their senior strikers, but all of that is the decision of the players.
Here agreed it's no all about club it's also player who want to stay here or just want millions of $ now Liverpool is also at crucial stage as they already lost their best strikers and if Mohammad Salah also gone then surely they can face disaster in their next season which could be not good for them but most chances Mohammad Salah will not go through with this all.
But believing in upright character and worthy goals of players is ignorant of the structural consequences the Saudi sports policies entail. When Saudi money keeps rising or even being at the same level, it is so tempting for players to make the decision at younger stages of their career to go to Saudi Arabia unless European clubs raise their salaries as well to make it less painful to reject offers from Saudi Arabia. While 8 million per year were enough a decade ago to keep a 20 years of age player in your club or in your league, this has already drastically changed. Bellingham and even many others ask around 20 million these days. If now the Saudi money opens new doors to new heights at the youngest ages, all the clubs have to disregard their former limits and raise salaries as well. That will make the sport more expensive for everyone and while the Saudis don't care and would subsidize it nationally, European sport becomes more expensive but entails negative consequences also for the fans. There is a a whole new dimension of the business model of transfers and salaries in the making.
Saudi Arabia pays a fortune to football players who have come to retire just like China and they try to design Saudi football with the money. If that worked the Chinese football league would be one of the best in the world. How logical it is to transfer football players who have come to the end of their careers for advertising purposes. Any football player who comes to the end of his career always accepts high offers. We understand from the success of China in football that money is not everything. Have you ever seen a football player at the beginning or peak of his career who wants to play in the Saudi League? You didn't see it because football players at the beginning or peak of their careers want to play football in Europe. Let's see if the Saudis will be able to reverse this situation or will they continue to pay fortunes to football players whose time has come to retire.
Playing games not as serious as the English leagues with a lot of money, sounds like a good retirement option I must say.
Behind the football craze is the marketing strategy that these countries are selling to the world. It would take a lot of generations of serious players in both china and Saudi to make their leagues as interesting as the English, Champions league.
