Real Madrid reportedly have Liverpool star Mohamed Salah on their list of potential targets for this month.
Manager Zinedine Zidane has publicly claimed that he has no desire to bring in any new faces in this window, despite Los Blancos being fourth in La Liga, 16 points adrift of leaders Barcelona.
According to Sky Italia, the club's stance has changed following Barca's £142m signing of Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho, and now Madrid want to match their rivals with a big capture of their own.
The report claims that Salah is on Real's radar following the Egyptian's scintillating start to life at Anfield, in which he has scored 23 goals in all competitions.
The attacker, who has netted 17 times in the Premier League, is currently one goal behind Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane in the race for the Golden Boot.
