'Unparalleled ambition' - Salah's risks to play in Europe revealed by Liverpool star's former youth coaches

Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah’s “unparalleled ambition” to play in Europe has been revealed by some of his former coaches, who also believe a move to the likes of Real Madrid or Barcelona could occur in the future.

Salah is one of the biggest names in world football, having thrived at Liverpool since making the move from Roma three seasons ago, winning the Champions League, Premier League, Super Cup and Club World Cup.

However, he was a relative unknown beyond his native Egypt when he made the move from Egyptian Premier League side El Mokawloon to Swiss outfit Basel as a 20-year-old in the spring of 2012 after a successful trial.
