Real Madrid will reportedly rekindle their interest in Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah.
According to reports, the Liverpool winger has reemerged on Los Blancos radar as he continues to impress for the Reds, and Real is said to be lining up a €130 million offer for the Egypt international.
Real, who has also been linked with a move for Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling over the last month, has struggled for consistency this season while Eden Hazard has yet to showcase the sort of form that made him a fan favourite at Chelsea.
With Gareth Bale destined to finally move away from the Spanish capital at the end of the season, Real are already in search of his replacement with Salah reportedly among the club’s top transfer targets.
Salah has established himself as one of Europe’s top players alongside fellow African Sadio Mane over the last few seasons.
The 27-year-old has scored eight goals in 15 games for the Reds this season, providing a further four assists in the process. In total, he has bagged an astonishing 79 goals in 119 games since moving to Anfield from AS Roma two years ago.
