Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah has been one of the key players for Jurgen Klopp's side that clinched the Champions League, followed by the Premier League title. The Egyptian international has been dominating in the Premier League as he leads the goalscoring charts this season alongside Harry Kane.
But his exceptional performance hasn't proven any deterrent in halting the rumours suggesting his exit elsewhere. He has been linked with a move to either FC Barcelona or Real Madrid in the recent past. And the former Roma striker has given a subtle hint at his interest in plying his trade in LaLiga as he nears the age of 29.

Mo Salah did not rule out playing in LaLiga when quizzed about his thoughts of football in Spain. He insisted he expects to play for a lot more years. Further sending out a cryptic response, the 28-year-old claimed that none know what the future holds for him, but he did agree to the thought of a switch to Spain. "No one knows what's going to happen in the future, so... maybe one day, yes," said the Egypt football team superstar, who is bound by a contract with Liverpool until 2023.
Mo Salah had again been linked with a move to Real Madrid. Los Blancos have relied largely on Karim Benzema in the attack with Eden Hazard turning out to be a failed transfer citing his worsening injury issues. And the defending LaLiga champions are on the hunt for a goalscoring threat, with Mo Salah being among the contenders, according to Transfer Market Web.
