Real Madrid approached Mohamed Salah in 2018, former Egypt coach claims
The HinduReal Madrid made an offer to Liverpool star Mohamed Salah in the months leading up to its 2018 Champions League final clash, according to a former member of coaching staff for the Egypt national team. According to former Egypt international Hany Ramzy, Salah discussed an approach from Madrid with then national team boss Hector Cuper during a March 2018 training camp in Switzerland. Ramzy told Egyptian television channel OnTimes Sports that he was present and also party to the conversation, even though he only joined the coaching staff under Cuper's successor Javier Aguirre. Ramzy left the Egypt setup along with all of Aguirre's staff when they were dismissed in the aftermath of a last-16 exit from the African Cup of Nations on home soil last year.
