00:00I just wanted to ask you about Mo Salah as well,
00:02because there's quotes from the Saudi Sports Minister today
00:05where he says we would love to have him,
00:07which I don't think comes as any surprise to anyone given the numbers he's producing.
00:10But looking at it from an objective point of view,
00:13what would your advice be to someone like Mo over a move to Saudi
00:16when he's playing at the level he is at the moment in terms of the numbers he's producing?
00:21Yeah, I would be surprised if there's anyone wherever around the world saying,
00:26we don't want Mo Salah, he's doing so well for so many years that everybody probably wants him.
00:33He's done so well without my advice for a long time,
00:37so he can probably keep doing what is best for his career, even without my advice.
00:44But my advice to him would be different than the one you just mentioned.
00:50Can you expand on that slightly then, if your advice would be different?
00:55No, what I mean by different is that everybody wants him, including us.
00:59We want him to extend, of course, as well.
01:01So, yeah, that is clear, but I'm not surprised that Saudi wants him,
01:07but I would not be surprised if other countries want him as well.
01:12So, yeah, he's been old and wise enough, he's done so many smart things in his career
01:18that he will make the right decision for himself and hopefully for us as well.
