Premier League

Crystal Palace

Liverpool

Manchester City

Fulham

Both men remain under contract at their current clubs, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/salah-signs-new-liverpool-contract-to-end-speculation-over-anfield-exit/blt6ebf1fa607a120f1" target="_blank">Salah’s deal at Anfield due to run until the summer of 2025</a>. De Bruyne is working on similar terms at the Etihad Stadium, with the <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/will-kevin-de-bruyne-be-fit-start-2023-24-update-hamstring-injury-man-city-champions-league-final/bltf316855bc390b998" target="_blank">Belgian midfielder preparing to reach a decade of loyal service</a> in Manchester.

WHAT HAPPENED?

It is, however, claimed the Premier League icons are beginning to register on recruitment radars in the Middle East. According to <a href="https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/salah-kevin-de-bruyne-saudi-30639061 " target="_blank">The Mirror</a>, ambitious sides in that region – who have already started to spend big – have their sights set on Salah and De Bruyne.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Money is seemingly no object to the Saudi Pro League – with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/cristiano-ronaldo-smoking-too-much-hookah-ludicrous-saudi-pro-league-claim-mls-relevant-lionel-messi-inter-miami/blt76046132fd66c045" target="_blank">the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo</a>, N’Golo Kante, Roberto Firmino, Allan Saint-Maximin, Riyad Mahrez, Karim Benzema, Kalidou Koulibaly, Marcelo Brozovic and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/will-ex-liverpool-captain-jordan-henderson-play-england-again-gareth-southgate-saudi-arabia/blt2c3422213403fc29" target="_blank">Jordan Henderson already on board</a>. More deals are expected, with leading coaches such as Steven Gerrard, Nuno Espirito Santo and Slaven Bilic also heading to the Middle East.

AND WHAT'S MORE

Some approaches have been knocked back, with Paris Saint-Germain superstar <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/world-record-transfer-fee-kylian-mbappe-300m-bid-al-hilal-links-real-madrid/bltc8de56fb2c9fa44f#:~:text=World%20record%20transfer%20fee!,Real%20Madrid%20%7C%20Goal.com%20UK" target="_blank">Kylian Mbappe shunning a record-breaking offer from Al-Hilal</a>, but a Pro League executive has told The Mirror amid links to Salah and De Bruyne: “This is just the beginning. The League’s budget is astronomical and there is already interest from leading international players in England to move over here. With the personal rewards on offer it’s a life changing situation which few players will be able to resist. You can bet that more top players will be arriving again next year.”
