Real Madrid FC are keen to sign up Liverpool forward, Mohamed Salah, but the stumbling block may be their finances.
During an interview earlier this season, the 28-year-old Egyptian national – who has two years left on his current contract – expressed his admiration towards Los Blancos, hinting at a possible move there in the future.
However, Ramon Calderon – who presided over Real Madrid from 2006 to 2009 – believes that Salah is unaffordable.
Speaking to a sports outlet on Monday, 1 March, Calderon said: “It is expected that, if [Liverpool] were to think about it, they would only let [Salah] go for a lot of money.”
The former club president elaborated further: “Salah is wanted, of course, by Real Madrid, but Liverpool would ask for a lot of money … but for Real Madrid, I do not think they have the financial means to sign Salah.”
Since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, Real Madrid has incurred a sizeable debt running into hundreds of millions of euros. In other words, don’t expect Salah to join the Spanish outfit anytime soon!
