# Bayern Munich chief says it would ‘be an honour’ to have Mohamed Salah

Bayern Munich CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has seemingly refused to rule out the prospect of the Bundesliga giants signing Liverpool star [Mohamed Salah](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/02/05/mohamed-salah-could-make-way-for-kylian-mbappe-this-summer/).

The 28-year-old has become a modern day great at Liverpool, [scoring 115 goals in just 184 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohamed-salah/leistungsdaten/spieler/148455) and helping the Reds win both the Champions League and Premier League.

Salah has [hinted](https://en.as.com/en/2020/12/19/football/1608337060_026566.html) at a move to Barcelona or Real Madrid, though, and now Bayern may have emerged as a potential candidate this summer.

Speaking to *[ON Time Sports](https://nilesports.com/nile-sports-live-tv/on-time-sports-live/)* \[via *[The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/bayern-munich-mohamed-salah-admission-23472569)*\], German legend Rummenigge compared the Egyptian to Lionel Messi and said the reigning Bundesliga and European champions would be lucky to have him:

> In my opinion, Salah is the Messi of Africa and of course he has the skills to play for the best teams in the world*.*

> What he \[Salah\] has achieved can be compared to what Messi and \[Cristiano\] Ronaldo did with Barcelona and Real Madrid.

> At the moment we don’t plan on signing Salah, but certainly it would be an honour to have him.*\*

### Read Liverpool Verdict

The thought of Liverpool losing Salah is a devastating one, with his staggering end product playing such a key role in their success under Jurgen Klopp.

That being said, he does turn 29 this year; and if an astronomical offer came in for him, it is easy to envisage Michael Edwards sanctioning a lucrative sale.

As bad it may be to lose such a world-class player, Klopp and Edwards may look at the long-term picture and think a young superstar could come in instead – Erling Haaland or Kylian Mbappe, for example – using the Salah money to sign him.

It would still be far more ideal to keep hold of Liverpool’s number 11, though, and he will hopefully sign a new deal at Anfield at some point this year.
