Mohamad Salah will soon become a target for Real Madrid, according to Egypt legend Mido.

The Liverpool attacker, who arrived at Anfield from Roma in the summer, has began life on Merseyside in the best way possible having scored 14 goals in 18 appearances.

But former Tottenham man Mido believes his compatriot's time at Liverpool will be brief because his scintillating performances will attract Real Madrid.

He wrote in a series of tweets: "Congratulations to @22mosalah on becoming Egyptian to Score the most goals in Europe and still got plenty to come!!

"[I] remember when the Liverpool fans made fun of me when I said 3 years ago that Salah is 10 times better than (Raheem) Sterling..well now they know I was right !! keep going son!!

"@22mosalah got the mentality to keep playing at the top level for many years and this is what we were all Egyptians r missing when we had the chance to play in Europe..

"I believe that Salah will not stay for long at @LFC !! soon he will be gone to @realmadriden #HalaMadrid".
