Bayern Munich have revealed a potential interest in signing Mohamed Salah after club chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge admitted it would be an ‘honour’ to have him at the Allianz Arena.

Salah has been a huge success at Liverpool since joining in 2017, playing a key role in helping the club win the Champions League as well as their first Premier League title in 30 years, and finishing as the Premier League top goalscorer in 2018 and 2019.

The Reds forward has only two years left on his Anfield deal come the summer and at 28 years old has previously flirted with the idea of a move to Barcelona or Real Madrid.

However, European champions Bayern could now be plotting a future swoop for the Egyptian forward.

The club’s CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge admits that while there are no plans to launch a bid for Salah now, the player is certainly under the club’s radar after comparing him to modern-day greats such as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

‘At the moment we don’t plan on signing Salah, but certainly it would be an honour to have him,’ Rummenigge told On Time Sports.

Rummenigge gushed about Salah, describing him as the ‘Lionel Messi of Africa’

‘In my opinion, Salah is the Messi of Africa and of course he has the skills to play for the best teams in the world.

‘What he [Salah] has achieved can be compared to what Messi and [Cristiano] Ronaldo did with Barcelona and Real Madrid.’ 

Jurgen Klopp recently claimed he had no concerns over Salah’s future at Anfield in light of his thoughts on leaving the club, stating that he was only responding to a question rather than trying to force a transfer.

‘It is a normal thing in the world of football,’ the Liverpool boss said.

‘Mo didn’t make a speech, it’s not that we go out and talk about things that we think are important. It’s pretty rare that happens.

‘We get asked questions and we answer – that is the end of the story. But it always sounds like we started the conversation.

‘In Mo’s case it is not like that. I don’t think it will distract this season.’
