Mohamed Salah on Al-Ittihad's radar

According to fresh reports from today, May 1, 2026, the Saudi football club Al-Ittihad is conducting significant talks regarding the signing of international football star Mohamed Salah.

The account ban_hfc, which reports on sports topics, noted in a special post that the club has expressed official interest in adding the player to its ranks. According to another update from the same source, club representatives have already held meetings with Salah's brother to examine the feasibility of the transfer.

An interesting financial detail that arose in the report by ban_hfc suggests that if the deal goes through, the funding for the move will not come from the traditional "Recruitment Committee," but rather be financed directly by a Saudi government ministry.

At the same time, questions have been raised on social media regarding the status of other potential deals, as user toki2t wondered following the reports: "What became of Al-Ahli and United?", thereby raising question marks regarding the competition for Salah's services against other clubs.
