Ex-PREMIER LEAGUE star Mido has claimed fellow Egyptian Mohamed Salah will play in Saudi Arabia next season – insisting contracts have been signed.
Liverpool icon Salah was the subject of a record £150million bid from Saudi Pro League champions Al-Ittihad last summer.
The striker, 31, stayed put and has since helped Jurgen Klopp’s side push for a potential Quadruple.
Salah has been at Anfield since 2017, and is under contract until 2025.
But former Tottenham ace Mido is convinced a deal has already been done for the Egypt captain to move to the Middle East this summer.
Now a broadcaster and pundit, 41-year-old Mido did not specify Salah’s future club.

Fellow star and Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk said he would wait until a new boss has been announced before deciding on whether he would stay at Liverpool for the upcoming years last month.
