As the Kylian Mbappé saga continues to unfold, Real Madrid appears to be shifting its focus to a new target: Liverpool’s star forward, Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian King has been consistently linked with a move to the Spanish capital, especially after Mbappe’s decision to extend his contract with Paris Saint-Germain.

Sources close to the club suggest that Real Madrid has been monitoring Salah’s situation for some time now, and the club’s hierarchy believes that he possesses the qualities necessary to lead the line at the Santiago Bernabeu. Salah’s ability to score goals, create chances, and play with both feet makes him an attractive proposition for any club in the world.

Barcelona Joins the Race However, Real Madrid may face stiff competition from their arch-rivals, Barcelona. The Catalan giants have also been linked with a move for Salah, as they look to bolster their attacking options. Barcelona’s financial situation has been a major concern in recent years, but it is believed that they could make a significant offer for Salah if they manage to offload some of their high-earning players.

Why Salah? Salah’s consistent performances in the Premier League and the Champions League have made him one of the most sought-after players in world football. His ability to thrive under pressure and his knack for scoring important goals have made him a fan favorite at Liverpool. Moreover, Salah’s playing style is well-suited to the high-intensity, attacking football that is favored by both Real Madrid and Barcelona.

The Challenges While Salah would be a fantastic signing for either club, there are several challenges that need to be overcome. Firstly, Liverpool are unlikely to want to sell one of their most important players. The Reds have built a formidable team in recent years, and Salah has been a key part of their success.

Secondly, the transfer fee for Salah is likely to be astronomical. The Egyptian’s contract at Liverpool runs until 2025, and the Reds will be demanding a premium for his services.

Finally, there is the question of whether Salah would be willing to leave Liverpool. The forward has been happy at Anfield and has formed a strong bond with the fans. However, the allure of playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world could be too much to resist.

What Next? The coming months will be crucial in determining Salah’s future. If Real Madrid or Barcelona can meet Liverpool’s valuation and convince Salah to make the move, then we could see one of the biggest transfers in football history.
