Mohamed Salah is once again at the center of media attention following a discreet meeting with his friend and former teammate Jordan Henderson, fueling rumors about a possible departure of the Egyptian forward from Liverpool to the Saudi Pro League. The meeting took place at a high-end Italian restaurant in London, where both tried to remain unnoticed with masks and caps, though they were photographed by onlookers.

The meeting, which lasted around 90 minutes, was far from a casual greeting: Salah listened attentively to Henderson’s experiences, who spent time in Saudi Arabia playing for Al‑Ettifaq, sharing details about life and football in the Gulf country. This has sparked speculation about whether the 33-year-old forward is seriously considering a move in the upcoming winter transfer window, especially amid the current tension between Salah and Liverpool manager Arne Slot, after being benched on several recent occasions.

The possibility of a transfer to Saudi Arabia is not new: the league has previously shown interest in Salah, and senior officials from the Saudi Pro League have stated that the player is welcome in their championship, although they clarified that it would depend on negotiations with the interested clubs. However, there are also internal voices within the Saudi league questioning whether Salah would fit well into their football project due to his age and current form.

For now, Liverpool has not received an official offer, and Salah’s contract runs until 2027, meaning any move would require complex negotiations between the clubs, his agent, and the player himself. With the January transfer window approaching and the striker’s situation at Anfield becoming increasingly tense, speculation about his future continues to grow, keeping fans and interested clubs on edge.
