We know that Mo Salah is a top target for the Saudi Pro League. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a couple of seasons ago when Al Ittihad made that big \u00a3150million offer, which was rejected by Liverpool.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook, it\u2019s not been a great season for Mo Salah on and off the pitch. He obviously had that bust-up with Arne Slot, and then obviously his form\u2019s not been anywhere near as good as it was last season, which was going to be hard to replicate. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s back in favour right now, but I think his long-term future is definitely in doubt. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s in the final 18 months of his contract, come the summer he will just have a year left on this lucrative contract and maybe it could be the right time for a parting of the ways for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Aston Villa still have no plans to sign Harvey Elliott permanently<\/p>\n<p>One of Salah\u2019s former teammates who could return to Anfield this summer, Elliott, has certainly not enjoyed his football while out on loan at Aston Villa.<\/p>\n<p>That is because he has barely played any games, with Villa refusing to meet the 10-appearance mark that would see his loan become a \u00a335m obligation to buy.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/imago1069652756-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Aston Villa loanee Harvey Elliott sits on the bench at Villa Park.\" class=\"wp-image-801778\" \/>Credit: Imago<\/p>\n<p>Unai Emery\u00a0and the Villa board have held talks with\u00a0Liverpool\u00a0over a potential re-negotiation of the clause, but they are still not willing to hand him three more appearances this season as it stands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Football Insider<\/strong> have also revealed this week that Villa still have no intention of signing Elliott permanently, even for a cut-price fee,\u00a0so any new deal would have to be a straight loan or include an option to buy him.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"(Credit: Imago) Fri 13 February 2026 9:15, UK Liverpool are set to be open to letting Mo Salah&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":761454,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[748,393,4884,179,6804,1128,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-761453","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-liverpool","12":"tag-mo-salah","13":"tag-mohamed-salah","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116062614299665168","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761453","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=761453"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/761453\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/761454"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=761453"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=761453"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=761453"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
