Mohamed Salah signs for Saudi club – leaving Brazilian team-mate confused

One Brazilian on the team thought they were getting the real deal

An Al-Adalah player has revealed he went through a whirlwind of emotions after hearing his club had signed Mohamed Salah, only to find out it was the Liverpool winger’s namesake and not the man himself.

A host of footballing talent reaching their elder years have flocked to the Saudi Pro League in 2023. Cristiano Ronaldo completed his move to Al-Nassr shortly after the conclusion of the World Cup, whilst Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema, Chelsea trio N’Golo Kante, Edouard Mendy and Kalidou Koulibaly, and Wolves’ Ruben Neves have all transferred to the Middle East this summer.

Therefore, if Salah hadn’t signed a three-year contract extension at Anfield last summer, it is not out of the realms of possibility that his name would currently be heavily linked to a multi-million pound switch to Saudi Arabia.

However Edson, a Brazilian defensive midfielder who plays for Al-Adalah believed his club had snapped up the Egyptian King himself when reading of his employers’ recent signing.

Speaking to ESPN in his home country, he explained how he even celebrated the news at first.
