Salah is the next Coutinho situation for Liverpool - Ian Wright

Ian Wright believes it will be difficult for Mohamed Salah to turn down Real Madrid as he continues to star for Liverpool, and with many believing Gareth Bale's days numbered in Spain, that knock at the Anfield door could come soon.

Goal sensation Salah on Real Madrid radar

Salah has been a revelation since arriving from Serie A outfit Roma in the off-season, scoring an incredible 36 goals across all competitions for Liverpool this term.

Spanish and European champions Madrid have emerged as a suitor for Salah following his stunning four-goal haul in Saturday's 5-0 demolition of Watford in the Premier League, while Barcelona have also been linked with the Egypt international forward.

Liverpool have already lost one star to LaLiga's two powerhouse clubs – Philippe Coutinho joined Barca in January – and former Arsenal forward Wright feels the Reds could be forced to part with a second.

"Anyone that has come into the Premier League and scored that amount of goals, you're going to court that kind of attention," Wright told Sky Sports.

Suárez, Coutinho, ...Salah?

"I didn't think he'd have that kind of impact, but when you have had such an impact, you are going to court attention. What clubs will have seen with Liverpool is that if you keep pressing for one of their players, you might get them in the end.

"This is the problem Liverpool will have. If Salah continues this kind of scoring next season, they will be courting him.
