Liverpool star Salah has been earmarked as a Real Madrid target with Los Blancos primed to overhaul their squad at the end of the season.
The Egypt international has blitzed 43 goals from 48 games across all competitions and could down Real when the two teams meet in the Champions League final on May 26.
And Spanish website Don Balon say Liverpool's Salah wants to wear the No 11 shirt if he makes the move to the Bernabeu.
That number is currently worn by Gareth Bale.
However, Express Sport understands Bale is primed to be sold this summer - barring a sudden upturn in form.
The Wales international bagged a stunner in El Clasico on Sunday, securing a key draw against Barcelona.

Liverpool transfer news: Real Madrid are eager to sign Mohamed Salah
But he could yet be sold, with Manchester United and Tottenham circling.
Don Balon say, though, that Salah picking his number has caused uproar at Real.
It is said the La Liga giants are willing to pay him a salary of £8.8million a year.
However, Salah reportedly wants £13.25m to turn his back on Liverpool.
And Real players are supposedly shocked at his audacity.

Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp has hit out at Salah for diving in Liverpool’s 1-0 defeat to Chelsea yesterday.
“Yes I think it was a dive, wasn’t it?” Klopp said.
“Or he waited for the contact, I am not sure, so that is not what I want to see, that is not what he wants to do.
“But obviously it happened. With all the other situations, in that situation he couldn’t get any foul any more. That is not right as well.
“It was always like this and you have to deal with that. He has to be much better, he can do much better and he will score again, there is no doubt about that.”
