Hi Eds,

So for months now we've gotten little snippets here and there regarding RM making a move for Salah. Most of it is just garbage paper talk, but there have been things like Ed002 (I think? ) saying that Salah himself had his agent talk to them.

My question is: now that Ramos and Real have effectively unified Egypt in hatred, do you see that possibility as being essentially dead? Or do you think it'd all be forgotten as soon as Salah signed for them?

Thanks!

I have asked that same question since Saturday night. It will be interesting to see, right? Or, I guess we're just plain naive and blinded to the business called football.

I don't see salah going to Madrid. A team where gareth Bale (lw) can't get a game and at rw they have Ronaldo.

Salah needs to prove he can maintain his brilliant form this season. Moving to Madrid could kill his career, similar to how going to Chelsea too soon didn't work out. I also think he is a man of integrity and will honour his contract. Of course there is paper talk after such a strong season but I think Eden hazard is more likely to go to rm than salah.

Salah would be fine at Real, what we need to do is make it so that it's not in his interests to move, that means winning titles. If we still haven't won anything in two years time (or maybe even next year) then Salah will be thinking about other options.

I think the Final was a game that he very badly wanted to win, but didn't, and after some time the disappointment will wear off (even though we never completely forget) . Based on the video interviews I've seen, Salah is a very focused, determined type of guy with a definite plan in his mind. And the plan is always to go up to the next step until he reaches the top. It's been like that throughout his career. So if he sees Real Madrid as the top, he will end up there one way or another. Sure he has a contract to honor and he can't move unless LFC deliberately sell, that's a given. But we've already seen with many players that if a player is no longer interested and the financial reward is worthwhile, then selling is not such a difficult choice to make.
