The Liverpool forward said: "I think Madrid and Barcelona are top clubs.
"We never know what is going to happen in the future, but right now I'm focused on winning the Premier League and the Champions League again with my club."
When asked how much longer he sees himself playing at Anfield Salah gave a blunt response.

He added: "That's a tough one, but right now I can say that everything is in the club's hands.
"Of course I want to break records here and, I repeat, every record in the club, but everything's in the hands of the club."
Jamie Carragher believes Salah was sending a message to the Liverpool board over his future though.
The Liverpool legend wrote for The Telegraph: "The timing of the player initiating transfer stories is also strange. My view is it was a message to Liverpool’s owners to offer him a lucrative new deal.

"Seeing their players being courted by the La Liga clubs would have concerned Liverpool five years ago. Not now.
"I am not convinced Madrid and Barca can afford Salah. Investing well in excess of £125 million on a player who will turn 29 this summer is not good business."
Liverpool return to action on Sunday when they take on West Brom at Anfield.
Klopp has given an injury update ahead of the match.
