Saudi Arabia’s Sports Minister said he liked to play Mohamed Salah in his country’s top flight, and announced a Winter World Cup in 2034 was “a debate that we still have in FIFA”.
Salah is in a sensational form for Liverpool this season but is not in the contract with Tag -Day, with the speculation that continues that the Saudi Pro League can be a possible destination for Egypt.
Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki al-Faisal asked if Salah was the “big prize” for the Middle East country in an interview released on the Piers Morgan Uncensored YouTube channel on Thursday night.
“Certainly, because if he ridiculed all the right boxes, even for us, we wanted him to have,” he said. “We feel that we are one of the eegypts, from our culture and our history and so on.
So having Mo Salah or other players who are good role models will be a pleasure and a privilege to have in the Saudi League. Will this happen or not? That’s up to the clubs to decide and see what’s going on with the negotiations. “
Salah said on January 3 that his representatives and Liverpool were “far from any development” in a new deal.
Saudi Arabia last month was awarded the right to possess the 2034 Men’s World Cup. Asked about the contest scheduling, Prince Abdulaziz said: “That’s a debate that we still have in FIFA, and I’m sure the final goal is: ‘What would be the best experience for fans to come and attend?
He pointed to Qatar’s “success” in presenting a Winter World Cup in November and December 2022, which requires many European leagues to take a mid-season break. “Everyone continued their business, and it didn’t affect anyone in a big way,” he said. “Some actually claim that the matches were really better at that time, as it was at the beginning of the season, and the athletes were in their peak performance rather than at the end of the season.”

Asked what he thought was the final decision, he said: “Honestly, I don’t know. We still have a long way to decide that, and many can change over the next 10 years, even with leagues and so on. “
