Juventus are weighing up a €200m (£176m) move for Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, according to reports in the Middle East.
It is believed the Serie A club have the approval of Cristiano Ronaldo to bring in the 26-year-old.
Liverpool fans on Twitter are, however, highly sceptical about the report’s authenticity:
His hair alone is worth 200m.. get outta here Juve.

Didn’t they need sponsors to help pay €100m for Ronaldo? Doubt they could afford €200m

Yeah I’m sure they can afford it with them giving Ramsey 400k a week. They’ll have to pay him 600k at least if hes to move

The Reds are unlikely to countenance any bids for Salah and it’s also not known where Juve would get the funds to finance the deal.
The sale of Paulo Dybala may be a possible way to increase their resources with the Argentinian having reportedly fallen out with manager Max Allegri.
Still, Salah seems to be very happy at Anfield. The forward has already played for two clubs in Italy (Fiorentina and Roma) so would he consider moving back to Serie A for another spell?
The Egyptian international has racked up 20 goals so far this season and is looking to help his side clinch the Premier League title.
