Real Madrid have been offered the chance to sign Liverpool ace Mohamed Salah on a six-month loan for a reported sum of €12 million in the January transfer window. According to news outlet Defensa Central, Salah's agents have allegedly reached out to Los Blancos over a potential move, amid the Egyptian King's uncertain future at Anfield.
Despite signing a new two-year deal valid until the summer of 2027 earlier this year, Mohamed Salah has struggled this season, registering five goals in 20 appearances across competitions. Additionally, the 33-year-old's future with Liverpool's hierarchy appears to be strained, after he publicly called out the club and Arne Slot following their 3-3 draw against Leeds United (December 6, 2025).
Mohamed Salah was subsequently dropped for one game before being recalled against Brighton & Hove Albion. While the Egyptian is currently representing his nation at the AFCON, his agents are reportedly offering him to clubs across Europe, including Roma and Real Madrid.
Due to Kylian Mbappe's recent injury, Real Madrid have been offered Salah's services on a six-month loan as a short-term solution. The latter could potentially slot in well in Los Blancos' attack and help turn their season around.
However, Real Madrid reportedly consider Liverpool's €12 million transfer fee to be too high for a six-month loan move and may not pursue the deal.
"Lacking the spark they need" - Chris Sutton makes scoreline prediction for Fulham vs Liverpool clash
BBC Sport columnist Chris Sutton has backed Fulham to hold Liverpool to a 1-1 draw in their upcoming Premier League clash. The two sides are set to face each other at Craven Cottage on Sunday, January 4.
The Reds have been disappointing this season in their title defense and are currently fourth in the table with 33 points from 19 games. They have struggled for consistency, having drawn three games and lost six to date. Meanwhile, Fulham are 11th with 27 points.
Sutton wrote (via BBC Sport):
"Fulham did really well over Christmas, especially when you consider they have lost key players to the African Cup of Nations. Liverpool must be massively disappointed with their display and result against Leeds, after the upturn in their performances in the past couple of weeks."
He added:
"Like a lot of teams, Arne Slot's side are maybe short of energy at such a busy time of year, and are lacking the spark they need. They lost here last season, and Fulham will fancy a repeat result. I'm not sure about that, but I do think Marco Silva's side will get something from the game."
The last time Fulham hosted Liverpool in the Premier League, the former secured a thrilling 3-2 win last season on April 6, 2025.
