Mohamed Salah has been advised by Egypt legend Hany Ramzy that now is “the right time” to leave Liverpool and link up with Real Madrid.
A stunning debut season for the 25-year-old forward at Anfield has delivered 43 goals, the PFA Player of the Year award, the FWA Footballer of the Year prize and a place in the Champions League final.
Those exploits have, unsurprisingly, drawn admiring glances from afar, with world football’s biggest clubs now in the market for a player performing at the peak of his powers.
