Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is reportedly keen to bring Liverpool’s Egyptian star Mohamed Salah to the Bernabeu next season.

The Pharaohs forward has netted over 40 goals in his first campaign with the Reds and is now regarded as one of the game’s most sought-after players.

Real president Florentino Perez has reportedly been exploring the prospect of signing Salah, seeing the striker as an ideal foil for Cristiano Ronaldo.

And Okdiario's chief pundit Eduardo Inda, speaking on El Chiringuito de Jugones, revealed: "Zidane has already given the OK to Salah. He loves the player."

Scouting reports and background checks on Salah have been very impressive, further convincing Zidane and Perez that a deal must be pursued.

Perez is prepared to go as high as €200m this summer to convince Liverpool to cash in on their star man.
