Liverpool boss Arne Slot has urged Mohamed Salah to make the right decision about his future amid interest from Saudi Arabia.


Saudi Arabia's sports minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal revealed on Piers Morgan Uncensored that he would love to have Salah join a Saudi club.


Salah's future at Liverpool has been the subject of much speculation as he is out of contract in the summer. Salah said on January 3 that his representatives and Liverpool were “far away from any progress” on a new deal.


Al Hilal are ready to offer the 32-year-old a lucrative offer if he opts to leave Europe.


Reacting to the Saudi sports minister's comments, Slot said intense Salah interest does not shock him.


"I would be surprised if there's anyone wherever around the world saying 'we don't want Mo Salah'.


"He's doing so well for so many years that everybody probably wants him. And he's done so well without my advice for a long time. So he can probably keep doing what is best for his career, even without my advice.


"But my advice to him would be different than the one you just mentioned [moving to Saudi]. Everybody wants him, including us. We want him to extend, of course. That is clear but I'm not surprised that Saudi wants him.


"But I'm also not surprised if other countries want him as well. He's been old and wise enough. He's done so many smart things in his career that he will make the right decision for himself and hopefully for us as well."
