Saudi Pro League clubs eye astonishing triple swoop for Kevin de Bruyne, Mo Salah AND Son Heung-Min this summer as they plan £2 billion spend

The Manchester City, Liverpool and Tottenham stars have been earmarked as the top targets for clubs in the Middle East as they look to attract more big names to the league, <a href="https://www.caughtoffside.com/2024/01/20/exclusive-saudi-pro-league-set-for-2bn-summer-spend/" target="_blank">Ben Jacobs</a> reports. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-sa/lists/mohamed-salah-saudi-liverpool-transfer-bid-gbp200m-offer-rejected/blt2ac93fd3d5acdee7" target="_blank">The Saudi Pro League attempted to lure Salah away from Liverpool last season</a>, but the Premier League side refused to sell, while <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/man-city-kevin-de-bruyne-consider-shock-saudi-arabia-move-summer/bltd90258ad118deb97" target="_blank">De Bruyne was been highlighted as a possible signing earlier this season</a>.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Reigning Saudi champions Al-Ittihad offered a reported £150 million for Salah last summer but Liverpool were not willing to let him go. The Egypt star remains a pivotal player for the Reds, scoring 14 goals in 20 Premier League matches. The Saudi Arabia dealmakers are confident that they can lure the 31-year-old to the Middle East but landing him this summer is no guarantee.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

De Bruyne will not be an easy signing for the Pro League either. He recently returned to Pep Guardiola's team after missing sustaining an injury in the first game of the season. His contract at City, like Salah's at Anfield, runs until 2025 but Guardiola is reportedly eager to extend his deal. As a result, City would demand an enormous fee.Son was also quizzed on a prospective move to Saudi Arabia last year but the South Korea and Spurs sensation downplayed the idea.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Saudi Pro League is willing to spend a further £2bn ($2.5bn) on new transfers in the summer transfer window as they look for new stars to join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Neymar.
