Mo Salah transfer: European giants leading race for Liverpool star on THREE-YEAR deal with forward to snub Saudi switch
PARIS ST-GERMAIN plan to step up their bid for Mo Salah – and think the superstar striker still has at least THREE more years at the highest level.
The Egyptian icon is out of contract at the end of the season, and recently revealed how Liverpool have yet to offer him a new deal.
Reports claim he has received offers to move to Saudi Arabia to join the likes of Cristano Ronaldo and Neymar.
But SunSport can reveal Salah, 32, has little interest in moving to the Arab state at this stage in his career.
He’d prefer to stay playing at the highest level and it’s understood PSG are willing to offer him a three-year deal to leave Anfield.
PSG’s owners are under pressure to secure a marquee signing following the loss of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe in recent years.
Their performance at the Emirates on Tuesday has also created unrest with the French side losing 2-0.
And the club’s billionaire owners – who are keen to build a team that can challenge for the Champions League – think Salah can help transform the fortunes of the club.
Salah has started the season in brilliant form and smashed in a great goal against Bologna in Liverpool’s 2-0 Champions League win.
He’s believed to have quickly gelled with new manager Arne Slot, who sees Salah as a player to build his strike force around.

The Dutchman – who has won eight of his first nine games – will be desperate to retain Salah’s services.
But Liverpool are unlikely to be able to match the wages which PSG or clubs in Saudi can offer.
It raises the possibility he could leave the club in the summer in what would be a massive blow to Liverpool fans, and to the Premier League.
Salah was the subject of interest from Al-ittihad, who reportedly offered £200m for him in the summer of 2023.
Liverpool were able to resist the eye-watering sum to hold on to Salah for a least another two seasons.
Several reports have linked PSG with Salah since 2021.
The winger has scored five goals in nine games in all competitions this season and is Liverpool’s all-time Prem goalscorer.
