The Financial Times says the striker's destination is clear: the 33-year-old is aiming for the Saudi Pro League and negotiations with Al-Ittihad are already underway to explore a potential deal.
Liverpool are already preparing for Salah's departure and scouting possible replacements. The Egyptian is expecting an offer "comparable to the exceptional terms given to Cristiano Ronaldo . "
The Saudi Arabian Football Federation is determined to bring Salah to the league. A first draft contract includes a package consisting of an exorbitant salary, "including future opportunities to acquire club shares and a long-term agreement whereby Salah will act as a tourism ambassador for Saudi Arabia".
Although negotiations with Al-Ittihad are already underway, the league is reportedly still undecided on which club Salah will join.
League officials are currently holding intensive talks with the country's top clubs. Besides Al-Ittihad, who are looking to replace Karim Benzema (38), who moved to Al-Hilal, Al-Nassr is also said to be among the favourites to sign Salah.
