Liverpool are yet to tie down Mohamed Salah to a new contract despite prolonged contract negotiations.
The 29-year-old has recently spoken out regarding a desire to remain at Anfield for the rest of his career.
However, it would appear that the club and player are no nearer to an agreement as conflicting reports debate the Egyptian’s wage demands.
Now according to Calciomercato, as cited by TEAMtalk on Twitter, Real Madrid and Newcastle United are both watching on with interest.
The report simply claims that both clubs are ‘on’ the 71-cap superstar – presumable waiting to see how the contract situation resolves itself.
This season the winger has scored 15 and assisted six goals in just 15 appearances across all competitions.

Newcastle?
Albeit the North East club have become the wealthiest in world football overnight, at present they are fighting to avoid relegation as opposed to thinking about signing world stars.
Beyond phenomenal displays on the pitch, Salah transcends football and the marketability of the Egyptian makes him a must keep star.
Valued at £90million and under contract until 2023 (Transfermarkt), the cost of replacing the ace would make little to no sense from any perspective.
