Real Madrid will make an offer for Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah in the summer, according to the president of the Egyptian FA.

Salah has enjoyed a phenomenal first few months at Liverpool since joining from Roma in the summer.

He has scored 24 goals and provided nine assists in 30 games, and is second only to Harry Kane in the Premier League scoring charts.

His fine form has led to reported interest from Real Madrid, and Egypt FA president Hany Abo Rida has stoked those fires.

“Real Madrid will make an offer for Salah during the summer,” he said.

“Salah is now looking to improve his game. Obviously if an Egyptian plays for a club as popular around the world as Real Madrid, it’s going to be great for Egyptian football.”
