Prem great makes damning prediction over future of Mo Salah

Oli Fisher

Arsenal legend Ian Wright claims that Liverpool star Mohamed Salah would find it difficult to turn down a move to Real Madrid.

Salah has been in sensational form since his summer arrival from Roma, scoring 36 goals in all competitions for Liverpool so far this season.

LaLiga duo Real Madrid and Barcelona have been linked with a huge £200m+ move for the Egypt international, and Wright feels that he could go down the same route as Philippe Coutinho did.

“Anyone that has come into the Premier League and scored that amount of goals, you’re going to court that kind of attention,” Wright told Sky Sports.

“I didn’t think he’d have that kind of impact, but when you have had such an impact, you are going to court attention. What clubs will have seen with Liverpool is that if you keep pressing for one of their players, you might get them in the end.

“This is the problem Liverpool will have. If Salah continues this kind of scoring next season, they will be courting him.

“Not being disrespectful to Liverpool, but Salah won’t have grown up dreaming of playing for Liverpool – if Real Madrid come knocking, he’s going to be taking notice of that.

“Losing Salah would be a much bigger loss than losing Coutinho.”
