Liverpool are not the only club chasing Basel’s Mohamed Salah [Di Marzio]

Basel’s Mohamed Salah has long been linked to Merseyside club Liverpool and it appeared the deal was very close to going through.

According to respected Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, there are a host of other clubs interested in signing the Egyptian winger.

Liverpool are still in pole position to sign Salah but there are reportedly clubs from Germany, Spain and England sniffing around.

Spurs, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid are all sides who have been linked to the 21 year old.

Salah’s agent was today quoted saying “Talks with Liverpool are ongoing. They want him but they need an agreement with Basel.”
