Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is going to be the subject of much speculation until his future is properly resolved at Anfield. As it stands, his contract expires at the end of the campaign.

Amid that uncertainty, Saudi chief Turki Al Alshikh, who has gained worldwide renown over the past few years as chairman of the General Entertainment Authority, bringing in some of the biggest boxing matches on the planet as part of Riyadh Season, has caused a stir.

On Wednesday, Al Alshikh posted a mocked-up image of Salah in an Al-Hilal kit to his 15 million Facebook followers. While that certainly doesn't mean that a move is imminent, it is the latest hint that the Saudi league is still obsessed with bringing the Liverpool superstar to the region.

Doing so at this point in his career, when Salah is arguably the best player on the planet, would be a massive statement as the division looks to grow. But Liverpool remains in conversations about extending his deal, and that seems far more likely to appeal to the Egyptian, considering he remains at the peak of his powers.

Last year, Al Alshikh claimed that Salah had accepted a move to the Saudi Pro League. "I don't have information [this year], but I have information last year," he told the MMA Hour podcast.

"He was [going to] accept, but Liverpool changed their mind in the last second. He was [going to] accept and I think this is one of the problem what he have in this year with his team."

Liverpool.com says: While ruling out the Saudi Pro League would not be a good move for Salah, who might one day want to make that switch, going there now would be ludicrous. Quite simply, it would be a waste of his talent for him to think about it within the next three or four years as a minimum.
