Former forward Nicolas Anelka says that Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah should be looking to remain at Liverpool rather than craving a move to Real Madrid.

Former forward Nicolas Anelka has claimed that Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah should reject any opportunity to leave Liverpool for Real Madrid.

Although no transfer is in the offing, the pair have regularly been linked with an eventual switch to the La Liga giants.

However, on the back of Liverpool's Premier League title triumph, Anelka has described Anfield as "the place to be".

Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, the Frenchman said: "Salah and Mane are ranking in the top five best players in the world right now. They have the quality to play for Real Madrid.

"But today Liverpool can compete with Real Madrid so they don't need to move. Liverpool is very much the place to be."

Anelka played for both clubs during the early stages of his career, contributing a total of 12 goals from 53 appearances.
