# Former club president Ramon Calderon says Real Madrid ‘want’ Mohamed Salah

Real Madrid are interested in signing[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/03/01/bizarre-moment-involving-adrian-emerges-from-win-over-sheffield-united/) forward[Mohamed Salah](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/02/27/quiz-how-much-do-you-remember-about-mohamed-salahs-season-so-far/) according to the club’s former president Ramon Calderon in an interview with [*ON Time Sports*](https://twitter.com/ONTimeSports/status/1366173426977820672) as relayed by [Goal](https://www.goal.com/en/news/real-madrid-want-salah-but-cant-afford-liverpool-star-claims/1xc8rds0nbm3k198fsghka7ryg).

[Speculation over the 28-year-old’s future](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/klopp-salah-signings-what-if-liverpool-miss-out-champions/qmcdrmt93ain19nwxcnhm8m49) at Anfield has been rife following an interview the Egyptian gave Spanish publication [AS](https://en.as.com/en/2020/12/19/football/1608337060_026566.html) whereby he hailed Real and Barcelona as the two clubs of interest to him.

However, the winger’s form has shown no sign of angling for a move away from Merseyside as Salah tops both the[club’s goalscoring charts](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/liverpool/top-scorers) as well as the [Premier League’s](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/top-scorers).

To add fuel to the fire, Calderon told [*ON Time Sports*](https://twitter.com/ONTimeSports/status/1366173426977820672):

> ”(Mohamed) Salah is wanted, of course, by Real Madrid, but Liverpool would ask for a lot of money and, if that deal were to be completed, it would be crucial. Salah is a great player with fantastic potential, and any club wishes to acquire such talents, but for Real Madrid, I do not think they have the financial means to sign Salah.”

Calderon did also state he doesn’t believe Liverpool would let Salah go.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Speculation around Salah’s potential sale has been ruling on for some time now and although Liverpool [should firmly rebuff any advances](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/keeping-salah-mane-liverpool-most-important-business-fowler/q0picdwsy3q1xs3e8lbke12j) at this stage, even the [biggest fan of the Egyptian King](https://talksport.com/football/660139/mohamed-salah-song-what-are-the-lyrics-to-liverpool-chant/) will admit one day soon the day may come.

[Valued at £108m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohamed-salah/marktwertverlauf/spieler/148455) and [under contract at Anfield until 2023](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohamed-salah/profil/spieler/148455), there is no urgent need to cash in on the goal-scoring phenomenon.

However, should the Reds be [unable to agree to a new contract](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/mohamed-salahs-liverpool-contract-situation-23372657) with Salah, the summer of 2022 may be a tipping point for his Liverpool career if the club holds out any hopes of landing a worthwhile fee.
