Transfer Talk: De Bruyne and Salah on Saudi shopping list

Kevin de Bruyne and Mohamed Salah have emerged as the latest big-name targets for the Saudi Pro League. 

A number of stars, including Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante, have already followed Cristiano Ronaldo by signing lucrative deals with clubs from the emerging Saudi top flight. 

And The Mirror suggest Manchester City star De Bruyne, 32, and Reds hotshot Salah, 31, are top of next year's list of targets. 

Premier League bosses have played down the threat of the Pro League but will be nervously looking over their shoulders as the Saudi transfer window does not close until September 20 — 19 days after England's deadline.
