Klopp: I am certain Salah will stay at Liverpool
That’s according to sensational reports in Spain as Real Madrid set about splashing the cash in a bid to win back their La Liga crown.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has made Salah, who was recently crowned PFA Player of the Year, his priority signing of the transfer window.
But he knows any deal for Salah will not come cheap and Spanish publication Don Balon say Liverpool will demand in excess of €200m (£176m) for his signature.
However, Perez feels he can get the Egypt international at a cheaper price if he offers a player in return.
But unexpectedly, Don Balon say Liverpool have requested TWO players be included in any deal if they are to even consider selling their prized asset.

Could Liverpool offer Gareth Bale a way out of Real Madrid this transfer window?
The report says Gareth Bale and Keylor Navas are Jurgen Klopp’s requests.
With Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius yet to convince the German boss in-between the sticks, Klopp is thought to be on the lookout for a new goalkeeper.
Keylor Navas is likely to be put up for sale after a hit and miss season with Los Blancos with Perez preparing a move for Manchester United’s David De Gea.
Meanwhile, Gareth Bale is set to be moved on after another campaign that has seen him struggle with injuries.

The Welshman has been linked with a move back to the Premier League with Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool all chasing his signature.

Perez will now have to decide if he wants to cash in on Bale and Perez in a bid to land top target Salah in what is expected to be a busy transfer window for the European champions.
