At Don Balon, every day is April Fool’s, and April 3rd is no different.
Now, brace yourselves, because this is a truly special level of silliness (we try and keep it PG-13), as the Spanish website claim Manchester United are going to go all out for Mohamed Salah in the summer.
Their angle, of course, involves Real Madrid, as José Mourinho’s intent in spending up to €200m on the Egypt star in the summer will cause Florentino Perez to “shudder”.
Following their exit from the Champions League at the hands of Sevilla, the Portuguese manager decided it was time to make a big bang on the market, and that’s where Mohamed Salah comes in.
Liverpool, down their end, are not prepared to listen to anything below that figure, “according to sources”, which is understandable considering how impactful the 25-year-old has been this season, scoring 29 league goals in 31 appearances, as well as picking 10 assists.
Now, reality.
There is zero chance of the Reds ever considering selling their star man to their arch rivals Manchester United, so why Don Balon chose them for their daily dose of whatever you want to call what they do is beyond us.
Pick Manchester City, or Paris Saint-Germain.
At least *try* and make it believable.
