Real Madrid is preparing a high-profile transfer for a favorite to win the Ballon d'Or.

Since last summer, the winger has been receiving lucrative offers with a salary around 80 million euros per year, which is nearly three times what he earns at "Liverpool." Clubs from Saudi Arabia are also eyeing Salah, but the player has always been more drawn to the opportunity to play in La Liga for "Real" or "Barcelona." Previously, transfers did not materialize due to the presence of other stars in positions that Salah could fill, or due to Mohamed's contractual commitments with the Merseysiders.

In the case of "Barcelona," he would be an ideal candidate to replace Robert Lewandowski or Frenkie de Jong; however, the financial situation at the Catalan club currently prevents them from signing him unless Salah agrees to a significant pay cut.

On the other hand, "Real" still lacks a central striker who could help the "Whites" regain dominance in Europe. At the moment, the Madrid club relies on Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo in attack, but the departure of one of them would open the door for "Real" to sign Mohamed Salah. Such a transfer could be a crucial step for the royal club to strengthen their position in the fight for another Champions League trophy.
