Mo Salah may only see Liverpool as a "stepping stone" for a "big move" to La Liga giants, Gary Neville claims

Former Manchester United player Gary Neville has claimed Mohamed Salah may only see Liverpool as a "stepping stone" for a "big move" to a club like Real Madrid or Barcelona. Salah joined the Reds in the summer of 2017. He enjoys his playing time with Jurgen Klopp's side, having already won the Champions League, Super Cup, Club World Cup, as well as looking for a Premier League medal this season. However, Neville has given the examples of David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo and Ruud van Nistelrooy who all moved on to Real Madrid after Manchester, and speaking on Salah, he said on Sky Sports (via the Mirror): "I said 18 months ago I thought Mo Salah would leave Liverpool. I think it’s a little bit more simple in the sense of why Liverpool fans maybe don’t demonstrate that love for Salah, and it’s affinity and loyalty. I think there’s a feeling that he wants to go and play at Real Madrid, he’ll go to Barcelona – he’ll take the big move. I played with David Beckham, I played with Ruud van Nistelrooy, I played with Cristiano Ronaldo. They wanted to win the Ballon d’Or, they wanted to be at Real Madrid, they wanted to be up in lights and play at the biggest clubs in the world. I think there’s a feeling: affinity, loyalty, will he leave us? I think he could. I think he is ultimately using Liverpool potentially as a stepping stone for his career. He has aspirations to be [at a club like Real Madrid or Barca]."
