Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli has set its sights on Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah as their top priority for the upcoming summer transfer window.
The Jeddah-based outfit is actively seeking a high-profile replacement for talismanic forward Riyad Mahrez, whose departure has created a significant void in their attacking lineup.
Mahrez's contract with Al-Ahli was mutually terminated, with reports suggesting a cost of around €14.5 million, paving the way for the club to pursue a marquee signing.
While Al-Ahli has explored other potential targets, including Borussia Dortmund's Karim Adeyemi, Mohamed Salah has emerged as the undisputed primary objective.
Salah's immense global recognition, commercial value, and proven track record at the highest level of football make him an ideal candidate to fill Mahrez's shoes and elevate Al-Ahli's profile.
Sources indicate that preliminary inquiries have been made to gauge the feasibility of such a monumental transfer, with negotiations still in their nascent stages.
No concrete agreement has been reached between the clubs or the player, and the situation remains fluid.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah has recently returned to training with the Egyptian national team following a minor injury, preparing for their forthcoming fixtures.
