Mohamed Salah sent 'massive' Real Madrid and Barcelona transfer message amid Liverpool contract talks

Former Tottenham Hotspur and England striker Darren Bent has urged Mohamed Salah to snub Real Madrid and Barcelona and sign a new contract at 'massive' Liverpool.

The Egyptian has less than two years remaining on his current deal and reportedly wants wages to put him up amongst the best-paid players in the Premier League.

Salah is in the form of his life and Darren Bent has urged the Reds number 10 to stay at Anfield.

The forward has hit 15 goals in 12 appearances in all competitions and the Egyptian has expressed his desire to finish his career at Liverpool.

Bent told Talksport: “You look at Barcelona or Real Madrid; neither of them is in any sort of financial state.

“I know they bid something crazy for Kylian Mbappe, but that looks like who they are set on getting. They are in a rebuild.”

“Liverpool are massive,” Bent added. “Where would you rather go right now?

“When you talk about the biggest clubs in the world right now, in terms of who could go on and win the Champions League, I think of Liverpool, Chelsea, City, PSG, Bayern.

“If Barca or Real came in for me right now and I’m at Liverpool, I would stay where I am.”
