Liverpool forward, Mohamed Salah, has confirmed he had “serious” talks about moving to the Saudi Pro League.
The negotiations over a new deal between Salah and the Reds were very long, as he entered the final months of the existing one.
The Egyptian claimed he was “more out than in” when he spoke about his future at Anfield in November.
But speaking with On Sport Egyptian TV channel after they lifted the league trophy on Sunday, he was asked about his talks with Saudi Pro League officials.
He replied: “It was a good opportunity to me.
“If I hadn’t renewed with Liverpool it would have happened.
“My relations with SPL officials are very good, we talked a lot, and the negotiations were serious.”
Salah eventually renewed his contract until 2027.
“The negotiations were long, I know the club’s policy [in negotiations], we reached a middle ground that made us all happy,” he added.
