Liverpool great Aldridge scoffs: No way Salah would want to join Ramos at Real Madrid

Liverpool great John Aldridge can't see Mohamed Salah wanting to move to Real Madrid.

The Egyptian forward refused to rule a move out to LaLiga giants Real or Barcelona last week, increasing speculation over whether Liverpool will lose one of their star men.

But Aldridge told the Liverpool Echo: "Personally, I think after the experience of the Champions League final and the way Ramos treated him, I'd have had a hatred for Real Madrid if it was me, after that incident.

"It wouldn't appeal to me but I wouldn't want to leave Liverpool anyway.

"We're talking about one of the very best forwards in the world. [Sadio] Mane, Salah - they're always going to be linked with Real Madrid.

"It's up to Jurgen Klopp and what he wants. You have to trust the manager to deal with such situations when they arise in the right way. Players are so strong now, if they want to go then they'll go. End of story."
