As reported by The Sun, the race to sign Liverpool's Mohamed Salah this summer has started after the forward's incredible form at Anfield this season.

What's the story?

With 36 goals in all competitions for the Reds this term, it's inevitable that he'll be attracting interest from European giants this summer and it seems the headlines surrounding his potential departure have already begun.

The Sun report that Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona are all interested in signing the attacker, prepared to pay a world record fee of £200m to tempt Liverpool into selling.

More than the amount that took Neymar to Paris last summer, would £200m be an offer that the Reds couldn't afford to turn down?

Should they sell?

The last thing Liverpool want is another transfer saga like Philippe Coutinho's, recognising that the pull from European football's elite clubs is strong both in terms of status and cash.

However, Salah feels like he's barely arrived at the club and getting at least another season out of the Egyptian should be their big priority. If he can repeat anything close to this term's goalscoring then his value will not have decreased by next summer.

There's an argument to be made that clubs should always sell a player at his peak value, but Liverpool have trophy ambitions and letting go of Salah would be a major blow in that regard, even if the reported £200m would allow a major transfer signing spree.
