Salah had previously considered joining the Saudi Pro League, but he extended his contract with Liverpool. Harburg's Al Kholood team is currently 11th in the 18-team Pro League table. Harburg believes Saudi clubs should be cautious when approaching Salah, citing his previous rejection of an offer.

Harburg stated that there is a narrative around Salah being approached previously and rejected, which may lead to him being less desirable for Saudi clubs. He also mentioned that Salah has underperformed since joining Liverpool and has been paid a significant amount. This season, Salah has scored only five goals and provided three assists in all competitions.

Harburg expressed his preference for younger players like Vinicius Jr, who he believes would be a better fit for the Saudi Pro League. He thinks Vinicius would thrive in the league and prefers to target 25-year-old players over experienced players like Salah who may be nearing the end of their careers.

Harburg's comments suggest that he values youth and potential over established players. He believes that Vinicius Jr would be a more suitable signing for the Saudi Pro League.
