Mohamed Salah should snub a potential big-money switch to Real Madrid and try to achieve legendary status at Liverpool, according to Mohamed Elneny.
The 27-year-old has been an indispensable part of the Reds' squad since arriving at Anfield from AS Roma in 2017.
Salah finished his debut campaign in the Premier League with a record 32 goals to win the Golden Boot and has played a key part in helping Liverpool edge closer towards their first league title for 30 years.
Consequently, the Egyptian has quickly attained a hugely popular status among the Liverpool supporters, but speculation over a potential switch to LaLiga refuses to die down.
Salah's international team-mate Elneny, formerly of Arsenal and now playing for Turkish outfit Besiktas, has urged Salah to stick with the Reds and cement his place in the club's history.
“Salah and I are both playing for Egypt [but] he is more than a friend to me," Elneny told beIN Sports.
"He is playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world and sometimes change is not a good idea. So if I were him, I would continue with Liverpool.
"For example, [look at] Eden Hazard. He was the best player at Chelsea but at Madrid he still cannot adapt. Of course, you cannot ask a player about why they choose Real Madrid, but changing teams is always risky.
"For me, Salah has to stay at Liverpool and become a legend like [Steven] Gerrard. Maybe one day we can see him in the Turkish Super League.”
