A major shift in FIFA’s transfer regulations has opened the door for Mohamed Salah potential move to Al-Hilal, with the Saudi club keen to secure the Liverpool star before the Club World Cup this summer.
Salah’s Future at Liverpool in Doubt
With Mohamed Salah contract winding down, speculation around his departure from Anfield has intensified. Despite his impressive performances, the Egyptian forward has expressed uncertainty about his future, revealing that discussions regarding a contract extension have been minimal.
Al-Hilal, backed by Saudi football’s growing influence, has emerged as a strong contender to sign the 31-year-old. The departure of Neymar has freed up both funds and a key spot in their squad, making Salah their prime target.
FIFA’s Transfer Window Shake-Up
In a groundbreaking decision, FIFA has adjusted the transfer window regulations, introducing an “exceptional” period from June 1 to June 10—days before the traditional window opens on June 12. This change aims to synchronize player registrations across different leagues ahead of the newly expanded Club World Cup, set to take place in the United States from June 14.
This rule update could allow Al-Hilal to secure Muhammad Salah in time for the prestigious tournament, giving them a massive boost as they compete against the world’s top clubs.
Saudi Pro League’s Growing Ambitions
Al-Hilal, reigning Saudi champions, have already built a formidable squad featuring Aleksandar Mitrović, Rúben Neves, and João Cancelo. Adding Salah would not only enhance their title prospects but also further elevate the Saudi Pro League on the global football stage.
With Liverpool missing out on the 2024 Club World Cup, this shift could accelerate Salah’s move, marking the end of his legendary Premier League career.
