Liverpool could let Mo Salah LEAVE for £60million – with Real Madrid on alert as Reds and star deadlocked over new deal
LIVERPOOL are considering letting Mo Salah follow Sadio Mane out of the door this summer.
Owners FSG will weigh up a shock sale if they get an offer in the region of £60million.
And LaLiga giants Real Madrid are among the clubs monitoring Salah’s delicate situation.
Mane moved to Bayern Munich for £35m this week as Liverpool cashed in on the Senegal star, who had just one year left on his contract.
The same scenario is beginning to develop with the Reds’ Egyptian hitman, who can walk away for free next summer.
Salah, 30, has been in deadlock with the club for almost a year over his pay demand of £400,000 a week to sign a new deal.

Salah earns just under the £240,000 a week paid to top earner Virgil van Dijk and claims he does not want “crazy” money to stay.
Real are watching developments and would be able to offer a mega deal — despite the bad blood between Salah and Real stars after two Champions League final spats over the past five seasons.
Bernabeu boss Carlo Ancelotti believed France hitman Kylian Mbappe was joining before the striker opted to sign a new deal with Paris Saint-Germain.

Real thought they would have to wait another year to get Salah but Liverpool’s attitude has hardened after paying what could total a club record £85.3m for Darwin Nunez.
Luis Diaz, at a potential £49m overall, was signed in January while £7.7m has been committed on Fabio Carvalho, who has just joined from Fulham.
Teens Harvey Elliott and Kaide Gordon are also attacking back-ups.
Liverpool know that by keeping Salah they would be taking a huge financial gamble in their bid to regain the title.
But Americans FSG are famously prudent with the club’s finances and may decide to take the money and run — although they would refuse to sell to a Premier League rival.
