The door to Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah joining the Saudi Pro League is not closed, says the SPL director of football Michael Emenalo.
Al-Ittihad had a £150m offer for the 31-year-old rejected last week, with the Reds insisting he was not for sale.
A move for Salah did not materialise before the SPL transfer window closed on 7 September.
The bid for Salah, who signed a new three-year contract with Liverpool last summer, was for in excess of £100m, with add-ons taking it up to £150m.
Emenalo added: "I've said before, privately and publicly that we welcome anybody that wants to come [to the SPL] and that includes Salah.
