The Saudi Pro League is preparing a major offensive in the transfer market this summer, with Mohamed Salah and Vinicius Jr identified as its two main targets.
Saudi clubs have already explored the possibility of signing Salah during this window, but Liverpool have shown no willingness to enter negotiations. The Egyptian forward, now 33 years old, has yet to decide whether he is ready to leave elite European football at the end of the season.
Interest from Saudi Arabia is expected to intensify over the summer, when clubs will have greater flexibility to complete high-profile transfers due to the expiration of several major contracts. Vinicius Jr’s situation is also being closely monitored, as talks over a new contract with Real Madrid have stalled. The Brazilian’s current deal runs until 2027, leaving his future still open.
While some within the Saudi Pro League view Salah as a global icon who would significantly raise the league’s profile, others believe Vinicius Jr represents a more strategic and long-term investment.
The summer is expected to be decisive for the ambitions of the Saudi Pro League, which aims to continue attracting the biggest stars in world football.
