Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has admitted he is a huge fan of Mohamed Salah’s, amid speculation the Liverpool star is being lined up as a future Galactico.
The Egypt international is in the midst of a stunning season following his return to the Premier League from Roma and has already scored 19 goals this term.

‘To me, he is in an amazing position right now.’
Madrid did not reinforce their attack in the close-season and have struggled to achieve their usual potency, with Gareth Bale battling injury and Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema lacking form.
Asked by an Egyptian journalist at the Club World Cup about the 25-year-old, Zidane said: ‘Salah is great player, [he has] shown that at Roma, now Liverpool.
‘He is still young, improving all the time. I don’t talk much about other players, but he is a player I rate a lot.’
