Liverpool make Mohamed Salah transfer decision amid Real Madrid and Barcelona interest
LIVERPOOL are set to keep Mohamed Salah out of the clutches of Real Madrid and Barcelona, reports say.
Liverpool star Salah is on the radar of Real Madrid and Barcelona with the La Liga giants both eyeing a deal in the summer.
The Egypt international has bagged 40 goals for the Merseyside giants so far this season.
As a result, interest from Europe’s elite is beginning to rise with reports in Spain also speculating Manchester United and PSG may try and snap him up.
But the Mirror say Salah is ‘certain’ to be at Liverpool next season.
The Reds view him as their most important asset of all as they aim to mount a Premier League title challenge next season.

Salah’s Liverpool form has drawn plaudits from all corners and, speaking recently, Tottenham flop Mido lauded the 25-year-old.
“Real Madrid want him, and we have all seen the poor performances of Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema with the 4-4-2,” Mido told King Fut.
“I was afraid that Salah might fail at Liverpool, but I think he is ready to jump to the next level. Real Madrid would be able to use his strengths.
“I know many people will disagree with this, but in my opinion, Mohamed Salah is the best player in the history of Egyptian football.

“Salah's mentality is much better than mine. When I was young I did not get any advice, and this would come to hurt me later on.
“We could see how strong he was mentally with the way he handled himself when he didn't play at Chelsea.”
The Mirror add recruitment will be key for Liverpool this season.
Thomas Lemar and Jorginho have both been earmarked as targets with the transfer window creeping closer.
