Salah and Alisson are reportedly big priority for Saudi Pro League for summer

Liverpool and Mo Salah are gearing up for a summer of surprises, with the Saudi Pro League reportedly setting its sights on some of the club's top talent. Jurgen Klopp is preparing to manage his final Premier League game at Liverpool this weekend, marking the end of an era for the club. His successor, Arne Slot, has big shoes to fill as he steps into a role that demands not only exciting and attacking football but also a strong rapport with fans.

While it remains uncertain whether Slot will be able to replicate Klopp's popularity among fans—a relationship built over several years—his tenure at Anfield could see him rise in popularity if he stays on for several seasons.

Slot will undoubtedly face tough decisions in the coming months as he asserts his authority within the club. One such decision could involve responding to potential bids from Saudi Arabia for one of Liverpool key players.

Interest in Salah serious amid recent fall out

The talismanic figure under discussion is none other than Mo Salah—the "Egyptian King" himself—who was instrumental during Klopp's reign. It remains unclear whether Salah would consider moving to Saudi Arabia if approached by their league.

However, should they come calling again with lucrative offers, it might prove challenging for Salah to decline—especially if it becomes apparent that there won't be another opportunity should he reject their advances this summer. This raises an important question: Can Salah afford not to board this proverbial train?

Clubs looking to lure Alisson with lucrative offers

But it isn't just about Salah; another player seems to have caught the attention of Saudi scouts. According to The Telegraph, ambitious plans are underway targeting Alisson Becker—the custodian who has had an impressive career at Liverpool so far.

Becker may find playing in the Pro League an intriguing challenge and potentially a profitable venture too. As shown previously, he could earn a significant income in Saudi Arabia, which might just be the incentive needed to consider such a move.

This summer promises to be an exciting and potentially transformative period for Liverpool. With Klopp's departure and Slot's arrival, coupled with potential bids from the Saudi Pro League for Salah and Becker, fans will undoubtedly be watching closely as these developments unfold.
