Mohamed Salah sees Liverpool as a "stepping stone" to a Spanish titan like Real Madrid and Barcelona.
That's the opinion of former Manchester United defender Gary Neville, who thinks the Egyptian forward would take a "big move" if it was offered to him.
Salah joined Liverpool from Roma in 2017 and has become one of the club's most important players, winning the Premier League Golden Boot in the past two seasons.
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher believes the forward is under-appreciated at Anfield, given what he has achieved at Liverpool.
And Neville thinks he could leave the Reds for Barcelona or Real Madrid - if either of the two clubs come calling.
"I said 18 months ago I thought Mo Salah would leave Liverpool," Neville said on Sky Sports.
"I think it's a little bit more simple in the sense of why Liverpool fans maybe don't demonstrate that love for Salah, and it's affinity and loyalty.
"I think there's a feeling that he wants to go and play at Real Madrid, he'll go to Barcelona - he'll take the big move.
"That's not a criticism of Mo Salah. I played with David Beckham, I played with Ruud van Nistelrooy, I played with Cristiano Ronaldo - they wanted to aspire to win the Ballon d'Or, they wanted to be at Real Madrid, they wanted to be up in lights and play at the biggest clubs in the world.
"I think there's a feeling: affinity, loyalty, will he leave us? I think he could. I think he is ultimately using Liverpool potentially as a stepping stone for his career. He has aspirations to be [at a club like Madrid or Barca].
"Let's be honest, Real Madrid and Barcelona for a lot of players are the pinnacle."
