As Egypt prepares for the World Cup knockouts, Saudi giants Al-Hilal have launched a massive 3 year bid to sign free agent Mohamed Salah.

According to renowned Egyptian sports presenter Medhat Shalaby on his show via MBC Masr, Al-Hilal is pulling out all the stops to secure the signature of the legendary winger. The Saudi Pro League champions have reportedly presented Salah with an astronomical 3 year contract worth a total of €60 million which equates to a cool €20 million per season.

To put those numbers into perspective, Shalaby highlighted that the deal breaks down to roughly 95 million Egyptian Pounds (EGP) per month clearing over 1.14 billion EGP annually.

Turning the page after Anfield

The jaw-dropping offer arrives just as Salah officially closed the curtain on his historic 9 year spell with Liverpool.

Having picked up every major club trophy available in England and Europe, the iconic forward announced his departure at the end of the domestic season, instantly becoming the most coveted free agent in world football.

Historic World Cup exploits

While his club future hangs in the balance, Salah remains entirely focused on international duty. The national team captain just guided the Pharaohs to a historic milestone securing a spot in the World Cup Round of 32 for the first time ever.

Egypt put on a tactical clinic in Group G finishing second to Belgium only on goal difference after accumulating 5 point. They now face a monumental do or die clash against Australia this Friday.

The growing Saudi empire

Al-Hilal is no stranger to shattering financial boundaries having previously landed superstars like Neymar Jr and Ruben Neves to dominate Asian football.

If Salah accepts, he will become the undisputed face of the league's global expansion.
