Atletico Madrid knocks on Mohamed Salah’s door
Now the Spanish big club wants to bring in the Egyptian superstar – to put him together with Julian Alvarez. “The plan, despite the fact that Liverpool are not going to get any transfer fee, is going to cost. Mohamed Salah earns 430,000 euros a week and has offers of more than that from several quarters. Atletico Madrid cannot afford to keep hold of Alexander Sorloth if they are to both drop selling Julian Alvarez and take on what will undoubtedly be a gigantic salary.
A historic opportunity!

The management of Atletico Madrid has set its sights on a historic opportunity in the transfer market. The plan is clear: sign Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah – without a transfer fee.
The 33-year-old winger was significant for Liverpool in every way finding a full-fledged replacement will be difficult. The name that is mentioned most often is: Jarrod Bowen.
Liverpool are facing a painful farewell to an icon who has scored 65 goals for Egypt. At the same time, negotiations with Saudi Arabia are on ice. Now the Spanish alternative is pushing forward with full force.
Behind the gigantic sporting investment is the American fund Apollo with heavy financing. But the lure for Salah is still different: to lead a project that is built to win the Champions League – in his own stadium.
Atletico Madrid know that next season has a very special meaning for the club’s loyal fans. A Champions League final on home soil at the Metropolitano forces the club to put together a team that can win it all.
Apollo’s money binge and the hunt for Salah
The club will use the argument of top European football to beat the offers from Al Hilal. Atletico realizes that the salary from Saudi Arabia will be astronomical, but the sporting project could decide everything. With new American partners behind them, Atletico can still afford to offer a salary that matches Salah’s status.
The strategy from the club’s offices is clear: Strengthen Diego Simeone’s attack. Atletico are working diplomatically with Salah’s inner circle, while also clarifying the future of their own star. The club’s number one priority is still to keep Argentine Julián Álvarez, who is being chased by Europe’s richest team.
According to Cadena Ser, Atletico are no strangers to selling the striker from Córdoba – but the price is high. The club will demand over 100 million euros. Barcelona and PSG are already preparing bids, and a bidding war is underway.
A galactic attacking line in sight for Atletico?
The technical management will wait for the former Manchester City player to decide his future after the World Cup. Atletico Madrid hope that a possible signing of the Liverpool star will also act as a magnet to keep Álvarez. Salah’s technical versatility will provide both individual quality and invaluable international experience on the most important European nights.
The weeks in June will be crucial. Then it is decided whether the contacts mentioned by Winwin lead to an agreement. Atletico enter the transfer market with one clear dream: to see the Anfield hero storm down the flank of the Metropolitano.
We already know that Newcastle have been active with Alexander Sørloth, as have both sides of the San Siro, but both AC Milan and Inter Milan will talk about loans and not buys. – A sale of the Norwegian striker will cover a couple of years of salary for Mohamed Salah.
The next game out for Atletico Madrid is against Villarreal at the Estadio de la Cerámica on Sunday.
