Barça was mentioned for a series of pharaonic summer transfers, Neymar and Lionel Messi being both expected for a return to the Catalan team. But it is now Salah that the Hansi Flick team aims, the Liverpool icon being available as a free player at the end of June due to the expiration of his contract.
According to Footmercato, Barcelona would put everything on the signing of Salah this summer. The Blaugrana are ready to respond to the long -standing interest in the Egyptian international striker, who, at 32, remains a major pretender at the Ballon d'Or 2025 thanks to his exceptional performances under the orders of Arne Slot this season.
While Liverpool endeavors to extend the Salah contract, interests manifest elsewhere. The Saudi pro League is notably linked to a record offer for the veteran striker, while PSG was also mentioned as a potential destination for the winger, author of 32 goals and 22 assists in 43 appearances this season.
The Salah dilemma in Barcelona
Offer Salah is not a simple decision for Barcelona. With limited financial means, continuing the Egyptian will probably involve abandoning other targets, and the attacker being at the end of his career, this is not without risk.
Barça is particularly interested in Luis Diaz de Liverpool, the Colombian winger probably being available at an attractive price. However, this amount will probably be out of reach of Hansi Flick. Any agreement for Salah could have the unexpected consequence of definitively blocking a transfer for Diaz, who said that his ” dream Was playing for Barcelona. Salah did not engage in any decision before the summer, but hinted several times that he could leave Liverpool.
“” It's my last year at the club and I want to do something special for the city ”, He told Sky Sports when it was questioned about his ambition to win the Premier League. “It's the last six months. There is no progress (in contractual negotiations). We are far from any progress, so we must wait to see. ”
He then declared to TNT SPORTS, asked about his inheritance: “ I just want Liverpool supporters to remember that I was here for eight years and that I gave everything. I want supporters to remember that I have given everything for them, given everything for this city. I loved football, I gave everything for him and I was not lazy. I think that's what matters: they give you love, you create a link with supporters because you give everything. ”
The door is therefore open to Barcelona, which could make a remarkable transfer.
