The Egypt international has been in sensational form under Jurgen Klopp this time out.
Salah, 25, has netted a staggering 43 goals in all competitions, with the winger on course to win the Premier League Golden Boot.
The ex-Chelsea ace has been tipped to quit Liverpool at the end of the season, with Real Madrid tracking Salah.
And according to Spanish news outlet Diario Gol, Real are willing to give up Vazquez to reduce Liverpool’s asking price for Salah.
They claim the Reds are demanding at least £175m (€200m) for their talisman this summer.
However, Real president Florentino Perez hopes to drop that fee by £30m-40m by including Vazquez in a player-plus-cash deal.
