Mohammad Ibrahim Mohammad Al-Sahlawi (Arabic: محمد ابراهيم محمد السهلاوي; born January 10, 1987) is a professional Saudi Arabian footballer who plays as a striker for Al-Nassr and the Saudi Arabia national team.
Al-Sahlawi was 17 years old when his talent started to become clear, during his participation in "Karkiz" Championship which led to Adel Body (the administrative of Al-Qadisiya Handball) registering him in Al-Qadisiya, so he signed for SR40,000 and a car. After only two seasons, specifically in the 2006–07 season (when Yasser Al-Qahtani moved to Al-Hilal with the largest deal ever at that time), Sahlawi broke into the first team squad so he had to assume responsibility of Al-Qadisiya attack alongside his teammate Yousef Al-Salem. Following administration issues Al-Sahlawi experienced a difficult period where he was relegated to the bench, while at the same time he was leading the Saudi Olympic team.
Following Al-Qadisiya's relegation to the first division and the departure of most of the star players in the team. Al-Sahlawi was lent to Al-Fateh and played five matches scoring one goal. Despite other offers he returned to Al-Qadisiya. In his return season he scored 18 goals and registered 8 assists. At the end of the season he signed a new deal with Al-Qadisiya for three years for a contract worth SR3 million. He ended the 2008 season as the Top Goalscorer in Saudi First Division.
He moved to Al-Nassr in 2009 for SR32 million ($8 million), breaking Yasser Al-Qahtani record transfer as the largest deal in Saudi football history.
In his first season with Al-Nassr Al-Sahlawi scored 21 goals in 36 matches, and received the Young Player of the Year award from STC.
