Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has now reportedly agreed a deal that will see him depart the club, with a destination said to be confirmed too.
According to former Egypt star and pundit Ahmed Hossam, more commonly known Mido, via KingFUT, the 31-year-old will be playing in the Saudi Pro League next season and has already signed a contract with his long-time suitors.

This comes after the Pharaohs legend took to X (formerly Twitter) to write: "Mohamed Salah in the Saudi league next season, contracts have been signed."
Salah's deal with the Reds will reportedly expire at the end of the 2024/25 season, and with manager Jurgen Klopp having confirmed he will depart Anfield at the end of this campaign, there is growing speculation Salah may follow suit.
Saudi clubs have previously attempted to secure the Egyptian's services, with Al Ittihad believing to have put forward an astronomical bid £150 million (around R3.6 million) in the transfer window ahead of the 2023/24 campaign.
Despite Liverpool rejecting their advances at the time, the country that has seen an influx of star players since Al Nassr's signing of Cristiano Ronaldo has not let up in their desire to land the former Chelsea star's signature.
With the forward once again linked with Al Ittihad and Al Hilal too, reports suggests that the Saudis are preparing to offer the Merseyside club a fee of around £200 million (R4.8 billion) in an attempt to lure them into selling their talisman in a deal that would see him become the most expensive player in history.
Salah is considered to be among the Reds' greatest-ever signings after making a £36.5 million (R884 million) move from Roma in 2017. He has since accumulated 205 goals and 89 assists in 333 games, helping the club to seven trophies while doing so.

The attacker was ruled out with an injury he obtained during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, but made a return to action in Liverpool's 4-1 win over Brentford earlier this month, marking his comeback with a goal and an assist before sustaining another minor injury that aw him miss his side's League Cup final win over Chelsea on Sunday.
