It’s worth pointing out that Mo Salah to Real Madrid certainly isn’t a story being covered heavily by the Spanish sport media.
There’s countless English articles referring to reports from Spain, but more often than not the source will end up as Don Balon, who even the excitable Spanish press largely ignore.
Liverpool fans know how it is when one of La Liga’s two giants is truly targeting someone. There’s countless front pages, and the newspapers have a new slant on the move every single day.
It’s been suffered by Liverpool for previous transfers, with the Catalan media talking all kinds of nonsense about the Merseyside club.
If and when Salah to Real Madrid becomes something to get truly worried about, the signs will be a string of front pages from Marca and AS.
Until then, we have Don Balon, who today state Salah’s Madrid shirt number has already been chosen. It’ll be 11, and Real Madrid’s president Florentino Perez is ‘absolutely convinced’ the deal is what his club needs this summer.
