Real Madrid are closely monitoring the situation of Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah as uncertainty grows around his future at Anfield.
The Egyptian forward has become the subject of intense internal debate at Liverpool following some controversial remarks about the club, and there is a growing sense within the dressing room that his era on Merseyside may be approaching its natural end.
What once felt like a distant “what if” is now turning into a far more concrete possibility, just as Liverpool prepares for a major squad rebuild.
Dressing room feeling: the end of an era?
Salah’s future has been a topic of speculation for months, but the latest mood within Liverpool suggests that the relationship may be entering its final chapter.
- Figures inside the club reportedly feel Salah is moving into the last phase of his Liverpool journey.
- The Premier League side are planning a significant overhaul of their squad, and a major sale could help reshape the next cycle.
- The door is considered open to a departure this time – if a suitable, high-level offer arrives.
For now, Salah himself has remained silent, offering no clear indication of his preferred next step. But the signals from Liverpool are no longer those of total resistance.
Saudi Arabia or Real Madrid?
For a long time, the expectation was straightforward:
Saudi Arabia looked like Mohamed Salah‘s most likely next destination.
Clubs in the Saudi Pro League have:
- Maintained a strong, consistent interest in making him a marquee signing.
- Viewed Salah as a player who could further elevate the league’s global profile.
However, the emergence of Real Madrid in the race completely changes the equation.
Los Blancos are now seriously evaluating the option of moving for Salah, especially as they look to address one of the few remaining gaps in their attack: the right flank.
Why Mohamed Salah appeals to Real Madrid
From a Madrid perspective, the attraction is obvious.
Salah would immediately offer:
- Champions League pedigree – a player who has delivered on the biggest European nights.
- Elite numbers – season after season of goals and assists at the highest level.
- Leadership and mentality – years of competing under intense pressure in a demanding environment like Liverpool.
Madrid’s current squad is stacked with talent on the left and through the middle, but the right wing remains the one area without a clear, world-class, natural specialist. A player of Salah’s profile would give the attack a different dimension: directness, one-v-one threat, and ruthless end product cutting in from the right.
A transfer that suits all parties?
On paper, a deal has several points in its favour:
- Liverpool could secure a huge fee for a player entering the latter stages of his time at the club, helping fund a squad rebuild.
- Real Madrid would gain a proven star who can contribute immediately in La Liga and the Champions League.
- Salah would have the chance to experience a new challenge at one of the biggest clubs in world football, without burning bridges if the move is handled correctly.
The key questions will revolve around:
- The transfer fee Liverpool demands.
- The contract length and salary that Real Madrid are willing to offer.
- Whether Saudi clubs decide to escalate the bidding war with an even more aggressive offer.
Silence from Mohamed Salah, but signals from Liverpool
While Salah has chosen not to address his future publicly, the atmosphere around him has shifted.
Liverpool, once completely closed to the idea of selling their talisman, are now more receptive, provided any proposal reflects his status as a record-breaking forward.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, are watching closely. With the right conditions, what began as a surprising rumour could evolve into one of the most dramatic transfer moves of the next window.
For now, nothing is agreed – but the door is open, and Madrid are standing right in front of it.
