Barcelona News: According to the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo (via Liverpoolworld), Liverpool sensation Mohamed Salah is a fan of the style of football played by Barcelona manager Xavi
They have also said that if they are unable to recruit Borussia Dortmund attacker Erling Haaland this summer, Barcelona may look to sign Salah. Salah’s contract position at Liverpool has received a great deal of interest. The Egyptian star has a little more than 12 months remaining on his current deal. Salah’s contract situation at Anfield has received a great deal of attention.
Kingfut claims that the Egyptian forward demands a weekly salary of £400,000. But the Reds are hesitant to change their compensation structure.
Salah’s domineering form, on the other hand, has made the decision tough. They are thinking about whether or not to let him go or raise his pay. With 28 goals and 10 assists in 36 games this season, the Egyptian attacker has had an outstanding year. As a result, he is a strong contender for the Ballon d’Or this year.
Barcelona News: Salah is a fan of Barcelona manager Xavi?
Salah is a big fan of Xavi’s club, according to Mundo Deportivo. He may show interest in joining them this summer, according to the publication. During a press conference in December of last year, the footballer expressed his delight at being courted by the Spanish giants. He said, “I’m not going to lie. I read what was claimed regarding Xavi’s interest in signing me, and I was intrigued. That a club like Barcelona is interested in me is something that makes me pleased. But for the time being, I’m content with my situation at Liverpool. We’ll see what happens in the future.”
Salah, on the other hand, went on to say that remaining at Anfield will be his first goal going forward.
“The Premier League is the strongest league in the world. I would love to remain in that league for the time being. I’ve said on several occasions that if the choice is in my hands, I intend to remain in Liverpool. However, the choice is in the hands of the management. They must find a solution to this problem. Nothing to worry about; nonetheless, we must agree on the contract. It is entirely up to them,” he said. Is it possible for Liverpool to keep Mohamed Salah?
What will Liverpool do then?
The Reds have become a formidable force in Europe. Mohamed Salah’s excellent goalscoring form for them over the previous several seasons deserves a large part of the credit.
Salah is now at the top of his abilities. Liverpool would be smart to extend his contract. Even though recruit Luis Diaz has had a promising start to his Liverpool career, replacing him may not be that straightforward.
This season, the Reds have a chance to win a historic quadruple championship. The UEFA Champions League quarterfinals vs Benfica will take place on April 5 and 13. The FA Cup semi-final will be played on April 16 and will pit Jurgen Klopp’s side against Premier League leaders Manchester City, who they trail by one point.
