Mohamed Salah's move from Liverpool to the Saudi Pro League next summer is a "done deal", sources have told Football Insider.

As revealed on Football Insider's YouTube show editor Wayne Veysey has been told a move for the 31-year-old in 2024 is now inevitable.

It is believed the Liverpool star has verbally agreed to join the Saudi Pro League's increasing ranks of elite stars, with a deal now agreed in principle.

Football Insider revealed on Monday (30 October) that the Merseysiders will not sell Salah in January whatever offer comes in for him.

But a well-placed source has told Football Insider that the player's head has been turned with a mega-money contract likely to be on offer in the Middle East.

Al-Ittihad were the club to come forward with a bid in the most recent summer window but saw all advances rejected by Liverpool after offering a package worth £150million in total.

But it is now believed a bid of £150million-plus could land Salah at the end of the 2023-24 campaign.

He will turn 32 just days after the season draws to a close, and will have just one year left on his reported £350,000-a-week contract at Anfield.

Salah has notched 10 goals and four assists in 14 appearances across all competitions this season and wore the captain's armband in Liverpool's 2-1 League Cup win over Bournemouth on Wednesday (1 November).

The Egypt international will miss several games in the new year as he travels to the African Cup of Nations.
