Report Claims Real Madrid Could Move for Ligue 1 Star as Alternative to Liverpool Forward

Real Madrid could turn to Lyon star Nabil Fekir, previously heavily linked with Liverpool, should their efforts to sign Reds ace Mohamed Salah fail.

Los Blancos, who recently appointed Julen Lopetegui as their new manager following the departure of Zinedine Zidane, are reportedly interested in Salah, who had an incredible first season with Liverpool.

According to Spanish outlet Diario Gol, France international Fekir is on Madrid's shortlist as a potential alternative to Salah should the Egypt international decide to remain at Anfield.

The futures of Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale are uncertain, with the latter sparking reports of a potential Bernabeu exit after comments made following his match winning performance in the Champions League final win against Liverpool.
