Real Madrid<\/a> are keen to sign Liverpool<\/a> forward Mohamed Salah<\/a>, according to reports from Canal+<\/a> and Jordan Seward of the Daily Mail<\/a>. Madrid wish to improve their attacking options and see Salah as the perfect player.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid Lead Interest in Mohamed Salah<\/h1>\n

Another Impressive Campaign<\/h2>\n

Real Madrid will look to persuade Liverpool to sell\u00a0Mohamed Salah<\/a> this summer, according to reports from France.<\/p>\n

Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane is keen to bolster his attacking options. With Eden Hazard<\/a> close to moving to the Spanish side<\/a>, the Frenchman is intent on bringing Salah to the Bernabeu.<\/p>\n

According to Canal+ (France), Zidane hopes to add Salah to a three-pronged attack of Hazard and Karim Benzema<\/a> next season.<\/p>\n

The forward’s pace and movement would add a missing element to Real; however, the 26-year-old is one of Jurgen Klopp’s prized assets and Liverpool are unlikely to let him leave easily.<\/p>\n

Salah has enjoyed another successful campaign at Anfield, netting 26 times in all competitions as Liverpool challenged for the Premier League and reached a second Champions League final is as many seasons.<\/p>\n

Zidane is keen to sign the Egyptian after informing Gareth Bale<\/a> that he is not part of his plans for next term.<\/p>\n

If Madrid are unable to achieve a deal for Salah, they may look to advance interest in Lille’s Nicholas Pepe (Sun<\/a>) and Salah’s Liverpool team-mate Sadio Mane<\/a> (talkSPORT<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Pepe scored 21 goals and contributed twelve assists this season, earning himself admirers from across Europe.<\/p>\n

Mane’s 11 goals since January aided Liverpool’s title challenge; however, the forward’s goal-scoring form has led to interest from Madrid.<\/p>\n

Spanish outlet El Confidencial<\/a> claim that Mane wants to play for Zidane, although the Spanish giants will only pursue the striker if he hands in a transfer request.<\/p>\n

A deal for Mane is unlikely, however, after he signed a new long-term contract in November.<\/p>\n
