Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah is a Real Madrid reject, it has been revealed.
Indeed, Diario Gol says the Egyptian can be dubbed a Zinedine Zidane reject - with the Real coach turning down his signing last year.
Real were offered the chance to sign Salah for €40m - but coach Zidane wasn't convinced and passed on the forward.
Twelve months on, Salah is now rated at over €150m and an outside chance for the Ballon d'Or.
Real president Florentino Perez is ready to try again for the attacker this summer, with an offer of €140m plus Dani Ceballos being put together.
