Real Madrid tipped to swoop in and snatch Liverpool’s “extraordinary” star in blockbuster summer raid
Liverpool FC’s Egyptian icon Mohamed Salah has been tipped by Fernando Hierro for a potential summer move to Real Madrid’s Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
The 33-year-old forward is expected to leave Anfield at the end of the season, putting his future firmly in the spotlight.
After an iconic and trophy-filled spell with the Reds, Salah is now heading toward the exit, with a dip in form this season reportedly influencing the decision for both player and club to go their separate ways.
Still, a dramatic transfer to Madrid could be the ultimate twist.
The possibility becomes clearer when you consider the situation in Spain—Real Madrid are facing the harsh prospect of a second straight season without silverware.
As a result, Los Blancos are preparing for significant changes.
After crashing out of the UEFA Champions League at the hands of Bayern Munich and falling nine points behind rivals FC Barcelona in the La Liga title race, tensions are running high at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
Fernando Hierro is a strong admirer of Mohamed Salah and believes the forward could be a game-changer if he joins Real Madrid.
Speaking to TEAMtalk, Hierro said:
“Why not? Of course I’d welcome it. Mohamed Salah is an extraordinary player in every way.”
He added:
“No one can question his impact at Liverpool FC or what he’s achieved there. I’d love to see him at Real Madrid—anything can happen in football.”
The former Madrid defender continued:
“Salah is the type of player every club would want because he’s exceptional and influences games directly.
“He’s not just a top player—he’s a true football phenomenon who makes a difference wherever he goes.”
Liverpool talisman set to snub a blockbuster switch to Real Madrid’s Bernabéu
Real Madrid are currently stacked in attack, and their priority may instead be adding experience in midfield.
Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah continues to attract strong interest from clubs in the Saudi Pro League, who are eager to make him the face of their competition. The financial offers on the table could prove too tempting to ignore.
From Madrid’s perspective, a move for a 33-year-old—especially one who may already be past his peak—seems unlikely. While the club is known for chasing global superstars, and Salah still fits that profile, a transfer to the Spanish capital appears to be more of Fernando Hierro’s personal hope than an imminent reality.
