Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti reportedly wants the club to move for Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah if a deal for Kylian Mbappe cannot be struck.

Mbappe is yet to agree to a new deal at Paris Saint-Germain and is due to become a free agent in under 12 months' time, but there are fears that Real Madrid could still be priced out of a move.

However, Los Blancos president Florentino Perez is reportedly intent on bringing a new forward to the Spanish capital this summer, meaning that alternatives to Mbappe must be sought.

Salah has previously refused to rule out a move to Real Madrid or Barcelona, and Fichajes claims that Ancelotti wants to bring the Egyptian attacker to the club this summer.

The 29-year-old is thought to be in talks over extending his Anfield contract - which expires in 2023 - but Liverpool are said to be considering a swoop for Italian right-winger Domenico Berardi.

Salah ended the 2020-21 campaign with 31 goals and six assists to his name from all competitions, but Liverpool refused to let him link up with the Egypt squad for the Tokyo Olympics. body check tags ::
