Real Madrid are preparing to make an offer this summer to secure the services of Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah. According to recent reports, Los Blancos chiefs has been impressed with the Egyptian’s incredible form this season which has often seen him being compared to Lionel Messi. Some sources are now claiming that the Galacticos are ready to smash the world record transfer fee of £198m paid by Paris Saint-Germain for Neymar in order to bring Salah into the Spanish capital.
However, Zinedine Zidane’s side are not the only clubs looking to sign the Egyptian star, with Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain also monitoring his progress at Merseyside. It is believed that Jurgen Klopp’s side are reluctant to let their prized asset leave following Phillipe Coutinho’s big money departure to Barcelona in January.
Salah has featured in 41 matches for Liverpool this season, scoring 36 goals while providing 12 assists in all competitions.
With Real Madrid ready to make a move for Salah, let’s take a look at three potential replacements for Liverpool to consider if the Egyptian star ends up leaving Merseyside in the near future.
