Gary Neville further noted that he said around 18 months ago that Mohamed Salah would leave soon. Neville believes Salah's aspiration for a Ballon d'Or win could be the driving force behind his switch to a 'super club'. The former Manchester United star admitted that he could see Salah making a big-money move to Real Madrid or Barcelona.

“He has aspirations to be higher Let’s be honest, Real Madrid and Barcelona for a lot of players are the pinnacle." Gary Neville on a potential Mohamed Salah transfer

Salah, who joined the Reds in 2017, hit the grounds running in his debut campaign scoring 44 goals in 52 appearances. He has since been a key scorer for Liverpool, netting 90 times in just 140 matches. Liverpool won the Champions League last year with Salah scoring in the final against Tottenham Hotspur. This season, Liverpool are unbeaten in the Premier League and look set to end their quest for a Premier League title. 

With Liverpool now at the pinnacle of European football, it'll be interesting to see if another European heavyweight could actually lure Mohamed Salah away from Anfield.
