While the Reds can bounce back from their Champions League failure, Salah apparently feels there will be too much pressure on Real to emulate their success under Zidane.
As a result, any new player who heads for the Spanish capital would fail to match expectations.
Salah will return to Merseyside after the Russia 2018 World Cup, with the Egypt star expected to be fit for the tournament in a matter of days.
Meanwhile, NAIJ.com had earlier reported that Egypt coach Hector Cupper has revealed Salah will be fit for the World Cup.
The former Chelsea man was bundled down by Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos as he landed awkwardly on his shoulder in the Champions League final.
