Real Madrid are reportedly ready to launch an audacious bid to try and sign Mohamed Salah from Liverpool, despite talk of the player’s agent flying to England to finalise a new contract for the Anfield star.
Salah has been back to his sublime best this season and had an assist for Sadio Mane before scoring a stunning solo goal of his own in Saturday’s 5-0 win at Watford. That strike made it 10 in 10 games for the Egypt international so far this term.
Reds boss Jurgen Klopp believes that on current form, Salah is the best player on the planet. However, he is unlikely to win the Ballon d’Or, despite being nominated.
Salah’s existing contract runs until 2023 but he is yet to agree an extension on Merseyside.
And now journalist Ekrem Konur claims that Real want to test Liverpool’s resolve and are willing to offer the Premier League side cash plus Hazard to get the deal done.
