Mohamed Salah, who announced his departure from the English football club Liverpool, remains a primary target for Saudi Arabian clubs.
Idman.Biz reports with reference to the "TEAMtalk" portal that Saudi officials are insistent on bringing the star footballer to Asia.
Saudi Pro League officials have re-established contact with the 33-year-old forward's representatives.
Currently, Al-Ittihad is considered the favorite in this transfer, but Salah has been given the freedom to choose any club in the league. His options to move to MLS or the Italian Serie A are also not completely excluded yet.
