Saudi clubs set sights on Salah and Vinícius as summer targets

Saudi interest intensifies around elite forwards

According to The Telegraph, Saudi Pro League executives have identified Mohamed Salah and Vinícius Júnior as priority targets for the upcoming summer transfer window. League officials are said to be focused on attracting players who can deliver both sporting impact and global visibility as the competition continues to expand its international profile.

The report notes that Saudi clubs have already explored the possibility of signing Salah during the current transfer window. However, those early enquiries did not receive much encouragement from Liverpool, who remain reluctant to engage in negotiations at this stage.

Financial strength drives renewed transfer push

The Telegraph reports that Saudi clubs are expected to significantly increase their pursuit of marquee players once the summer window opens. With substantial financial resources at their disposal, teams in the league are preparing to table lucrative offers that few clubs can easily match.

Vinícius Júnior is viewed as another high profile target, given his status as one of the most influential attackers in European football. Any potential move would likely require a record breaking proposal to tempt Real Madrid into talks.

A strategic shift in recruitment priorities

The growing interest in players such as Salah and Vinícius reflects a broader strategy within the Saudi Pro League to attract footballers who combine elite performance levels with global commercial appeal. According to the report, officials believe that signing players at the peak of their careers would further accelerate the league’s international credibility and media reach.
