Saudi Pro League chief Mike Emenalo says more bids coming for Mohamed Salah

Saudi Arabia’s Pro League chief Michael Emenalo has said that bringing Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah to the League remains a top priority.

“If it didn’t happen, it’s not because we no longer fancy the player, or because we have a problem with Liverpool.

“It’s because certain things that need to align for all the parties involved in the process didn’t align, Emenalo said.

“Nobody is angry, we move on, but we absolutely close no doors and if the opportunity is there to do things and do it well – and it brings Mohamed Salah to the Saudi Pro League we will all be very grateful.”

“I’ve said before, privately and publicly that we welcome anybody that wants to come [to the SPL] and that includes Salah,” said Emenalo.

“But we have to do things in a very professional and respectful manner. That’s what we’re there for, it’s what the SPL has been refined to do – bring professionalism, respect of efficiencies, and to do things in a competent way.”

Salah has remained silent on the matter, but his manager Jurgen Klopp insists he is still fully focused on Liverpool.
