Saudi Arabia's transfer chief Michael Emenalo has outlined his ambitions for the league in the coming years.

The Saudi Pro League has attracted top class players from European leagues already.

The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Sadio Mane, Riyad Mahrez and Kalidou Koulibaly all play in the Pro League now.

"Mo Salah, like [Lionel] Messi, [Karim] Benzema, [Cristiano] Ronaldo and the likes of Kevin De Bruyne, these are players that when there is a sense of availability for them, we are willing to listen," transfer supremo Emenalo told Sky Sports News.

"But we also understand that Mo is happy where he is at present and in a historic, wonderful club at Liverpool. We respect that very much and we don't want to come across as putting any pressure on him.

"But if there is any interest to do something, Mo Salah is a player that you want in your league, in any league. We respect Liverpool and in this scenario, the initiative to do anything won't come from us. There has to be an aligned interest from all parties involved."
