Mohamed Salah stuns Liverpool by admitting he is open to joining Real Madrid or Barcelona in future

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has sent shockwaves around the club after refusing to rule out moves to Real Madrid or Barcelona in the future.

The 28-year-old Egyptian has become a star at Anfield under Jurgen Klopp, scoring 108 goals in 172 appearances for the club on his way to claiming the Champions League and Premier League titles.

Those achievements have seen him linked with the Spanish giants, but asked by Spanish outlet AS if he would rule out a move to LaLiga in the future, the former Chelsea forward did not rule out a move away from the Reds.

‘I think Madrid and Barcelona are two top clubs,’ he said.

‘Who knows what will happen in the future, but right now I am focused on winning the Premier League and the Champions League with Liverpool again.’

When pressed on his future further, Salah insisted everything was in Liverpool’s hands, adding: ‘That’s a tough question, but right now I can say that everything is in the hands of the club.

‘Of course I want to break records here and, I repeat, all the club records, but everything is in the hands of the club.’

Salah has scored a joint-highest 11 Premier League goals for the current top-flight champions in 2020-21, and 14 across all competitions.

Those current statistics come after Salah – who signed a heavily-incentivised five-year extension with the Anfield side in 2018 – finished fifth in the race for the Golden Boot last season in Liverpool’s victorious league campaign with 19 goals.
