La Liga chief Javier Tebas believes it is 'very unlikely' that Mohamed Salah will move to Spain this summer.
The Liverpool ace continues to be linked with Real Madrid and Barcelona.
But Tebas thinks a negative financial situation, exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic, will prohibit any big transfers.
Tebas told Egyptian TV station ON Time Sports, "We are at the same level as the Premier League, the difference is the audience, they have a bigger audience in Europe and we have our huge base in the Middle and Far East.
"An arrival of Mohamed Salah in La Liga?
"With the current financial situation, it is very unlikely that Liverpool will sell Mohamed Salah or that a club will sign a big name this summer.
"I definitely hope that he joins La Liga but I don't expect big money transfers this summer."
