Extension of Saudi Summer Transfer Market Unlikely, Says Sports Journalist
There have been rumors about the possibility of extending the Saudi summer transfer market to accommodate players like Mohamed Salah. However, sports journalist Waleed Al-Faraj has dismissed these speculations.
In his show, Action with Waleed, Al-Faraj stated that the start and end dates of the Saudi Mercato are determined by FIFA and cannot be changed. He emphasized that there are no exceptions for anyone.

Despite this, representatives from Al Ittihad Club and the Saudi Investment Fund are working against the clock to convince Liverpool to let go of Salah before the transfer window closes. The Federation has made a substantial offer of over £200m for the 31-year-old Egyptian star.
It is worth noting that Al Ittihad will participate in the Club World Cup and face Auckland City from New Zealand in the opening match. However, their matchup with Egypt’s Al Ahli in the second round is contingent upon official eligibility.
