Liverpool\u2019s pursuit of PSG midfielder Vitinha may only happen if the club were to offload Mohamed Salah to Saudi Arabia.<\/strong> <\/p>\n That is according to ex-Aberdeen and Everton and Aston Villa chief executive Keith Wyness who, speaking exclusively to Football Insider<\/strong>, thinks Liverpool<\/a> will need to sell Salah if they are to spend big again in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n Liverpool spent over \u00a3400million in the summer transfer window, but despite an influx of signings, Salah remained at Anfield.<\/p>\n Saudi Arabia have firm interest in Salah<\/a>, and the 33-year-old could earn \u00a3150m a year if he was to move to the Saudi Pro League.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Vitinha deal \u2018difficult\u2019 for Liverpool<\/p>\n Everton\u2019s former chief Keith Wyness<\/a> \u2013 who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs \u2013 thinks Real Madrid could snap up Vitinha over Premier League clubs.<\/p>\n Speaking on the new edition of\u00a0Football Insider<\/strong>\u2019s Inside Track podcast<\/a>, Wyness cannot see Liverpool, or fellow Premier League club Arsenal<\/a>, completing a deal for the Portugal international.<\/p>\n He did say the only way Liverpool could land the player who finished third in the 2025 Ballon D\u2019Or rankings would be to offload Salah.<\/p>\n MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES<\/p>\n He told Football Insider<\/strong>\u2018s Inside Track podcast: \u201cI think it is going to be difficult for them to pull it off. I think Real Madrid are actually in the wings looking for him, and I\u2019ve heard that there\u2019s some stories going around that sort of move. <\/p>\n \u201cI do think it\u2019s difficult for Liverpool and Arsenal, given for Liverpool right now as well, I think there\u2019s a lot of financial questions being asked now.<\/p>\n \u201cI think the obvious thing would be to let Mo Salah go there to Saudi. Now, whether that could happen as soon as January to free up some funds, I don\u2019t know, but certainly that question must be being asked because given the expenditure we\u2019ve talked about already spent, I think they\u2019d have to make some sort of money back in to be able to justify something like Vitinha. <\/p>\n \u201cArsenal, I think, are looking pretty settled right now. I don\u2019t see them spending that sort of money just now on Vitinha. So I think Spain is more likely for them.\u201d <\/p>\n Vitinha showcased his talent further as he scored a hat-trick in PSG\u2019s 5-3 win over Spurs<\/a> in the Champions League.<\/p>\n The 25-year-old now has five goals and seven assists in all competitions this season, whilst Salah has struck four times and registered three assists.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Vitinha-1024x683.jpg\")
