Liverpool speedster Mohamed Salah is attracting the attention of Real Madrid ahead of a potential move in the summer transfer window. According to recent reports, the 25-year-old winger has emerged as a potential transfer target for Los Blancos after he put in some mesmerizing performances for the Merseysiders this season.
It is being reported that the Galacticos have made the Egyptian international their number 1 priority this summer. Salah has enjoyed a free-scoring season so far under Jurgen Klopp and is currently leading the Premier League goalscoring charts with 31 goals to his name. The Liverpool star is well on his way to win both the Premier League’s golden boot and the European golden shoe awards at the end of the current campaign. Some sources are now claiming that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez is ready to dish out €200m for the new PFA Player of the Year, following his outstanding form for the Reds this season.
Los Blancos are looking to make a marquee signing this summer after falling well short of Barcelona in the race for the La Liga title. Klopp’s team had to part ways with Phillipe Coutinho when the Brazilian sealed a big-money move to the Nou Camp during the January transfer window. Madrid are now hoping that the same would apply to the Egyptian as they get ready to splash the cash for his signature at the end of the season.
Klopp’s side find themselves in the 3rd position in the league table with a tally of 71 points in 35 league fixtures. The Reds of Merseyside were held to a lacklustre draw last weekend versus West Bromwich Albion and are now preparing for a crucial Champions League semi-final tie against AS Roma in midweek.
On the other hand, Los Blancos are sitting in the 3rd spot in the La Liga rankings, a massive 15 points behind their local rivals Barcelona. The Galacticos are in need to bring in some faces in the summer in order to close the gap to the Catalans next season. The addition of Salah will undoubtedly bolster Zidane’s attacking options ahead of the new campaign. The Galacticos have the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Gareth Bale, Lucas Vasquez and Borja Mayoral vying for a place in Zidane’s starting eleven. The potential acquisition of Salah will definitely improve their squad significantly and add more competition for places in the Madrid squad.
