Wright: 'Real would turn Salah's head'

Former Arsenal forward Ian Wright says that Mohamed Salah would find it difficult to reject Real Madrid if the Spanish giants came calling this summer.

Former Arsenal forward Ian Wright has claimed that Mohamed Salah would find it difficult to reject Real Madrid if the Spanish giants came calling at the end of the season.

Salah has scored 36 times in all competitions for Liverpool during the 2017-18 campaign - including 28 in the Premier League.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have both been linked with £200m moves for the Egypt international, although Liverpool will reportedly reject any bid that arrives at the end of the season.

Wright, however, has said that interest from the Spanish capital would turn the attacker's head.

"Anyone that has come into the Premier League and scored that amount of goals, you're going to court that kind of attention," Wright told Sky Sports News.

"I didn't think he'd have that kind of impact, but when you have had such an impact, you are going to court attention. What clubs will have seen with Liverpool is that if you keep pressing for one of their players, you might get them in the end.

"This is the problem Liverpool will have. If Salah continues this kind of scoring next season, they will be courting him. Not being disrespectful to Liverpool, but Salah won't have grown up dreaming of playing for Liverpool - if Real Madrid come knocking, he's going to be taking notice of that."

Salah has also managed 12 assists in 41 appearances for Liverpool this season.
