Arne Slott's Liverpool have been at the top of the Premier League for most of the season and are favorites to win the league.
The main reason why they are favorites to win the league is because of Mohamed Salah's form this season.
The Egyptian striker has scored 18 league goals this season as well as 13 assists in 20 appearances for the Reds, showing the best form of his career and becoming one of the best players in the world in the process.
However, there are question marks over his future at the club with Salah entering the final six months of his contract at Anfield.
Salah's agent is communicating with Paris Saint-Germain regarding a move in the summer transfer window but now a new candidate has emerged to sign the prolific Liverpool striker.
According to the journalist Gianluigi LongariIt is possible that Liverpool player Salah will move to the Saudi Professional League to join Al Hilal, and he confirmed that the two parties are engaged in the dialogue.
Longari wrote on X: Al Hilal Club is in a state of “very advanced” negotiations with Mohamed Salah in light of next season.
“There is nothing specific, but the dialogues are well established.”

Will Mohamed Salah leave Liverpool to Al Hilal?
The Saudi side have confirmed that Neymar will not be part of their squad for the second half of the season, making it clear that the Brazilian has no future at the club.
They are now looking to replace Neymar by signing Salah who could have a bigger impact than the Brazilian due to his current form and stature in the game.
As far as Liverpool are concerned, they have left it too late to keep their star at the club, and his talks with the Saudi side appear to be progressing well.
It still depends on what the Reds want to do and whether they are willing to agree to the terms Salah demands.
