Cristiano Ronaldo’s daughter has been spotted wearing a Mohamed Salah shirt, amid rumours the Egyptian could move to the Saudi Pro League.
According to journalist Ben Jacobs, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Sport has allocated some £17billion to be spent on Saudi Pro League transfers between now and 2030.
Indeed, Jacobs’ claim comes the same week Saudi club Al Hilal offered a world-record bid for Kylian Mbappe, believed to be worth €300m (£259m). The club are reportedly willing to pay the forward €200million (£172million) for a one-season stay if that is what it takes to get the deal done.

Al Hilal also tried to sign Lionel Messi earlier this summer, while they have allegedly explored the possibility of bringing in Neymar and Luka Modric.
Another player that has been linked to the Saudi Pro League at various points is Liverpool star Salah. Indeed, Saudi Arabian football official Hafez Al-Medlej called on the league to “start working on the signing” Salah earlier this summer.
"We must also start working on the signing of Mohamed Salah since he is overwhelmingly popular in the Arab world and in Europe," Al-Medlej, who has held roles within the Asian Football Confederation and Saudi Pro League, told Koura.

"I think Salah still has records to break with Liverpool, so I hope that if he doesn't come now he will in the future."
Cristiano Ronaldo’s daughter spotted in Salah shirt
Ronaldo’s wife Georgina Rodriguez posted an Instagram story of her children at the hairdresser. In the picture, one of Ronaldo’s daughters is wearing a Liverpool top, with Salah’s name printed on the back.
Of course, Ronaldo became the face of the Saudi Pro League after his pioneering and lucrative move to Al Nassr at the beginning of the year, and his daughter’s Liverpool attire has led to speculation Salah could follow the five-time Ballon d’Or winner to the Middle East.
Salah won’t come cheap, however. The 31-year-old has arguably been Liverpool’s best player in the Jurgen Klopp era, with his efforts rewarded with a three-year deal last summer, worth a reported £350,000 per week.

Salah was one of Liverpool’s stand-out players last season, scoring 30 goals and claiming 16 assists in 51 appearances for the Reds in all competitions. Meanwhile, in his six years on Merseyside, the Egyptian has scored 186 goals in 305 games.
