La Liga
FC Barcelona is determined to strengthen their squad in the upcoming summer transfer market, with Mohamed Salah emerging as one of the key targets on their list of possible additions, as reported by SPORT newspaper.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Egyptian winger's contract with Liverpool expires in June, the Blaugrana consider it feasible to bring him in as a free agent, thus avoiding the high transfer costs that had previously thwarted this possibility. At 32 years old, Salah continues to shine in the Premier League with a top-level performance that keeps the admiration of both Barça and Hansi Flick, who sees him as an intriguing option to maintain a world-class attack.
Mohamed Salah on Barcelona's Agenda
Salah was first linked to Barcelona in 2022 when Laporta tried to lure him to the club as a key piece in the squad restructuring. However, the high wages and financial demands of Liverpool ultimately cooled the negotiations, leading the Catalan team to pursue other options, like the arrival of Robert Lewandowski.
Now, with Salah's contract about to expire, Barça sees a real opportunity to sign the Egyptian winger and add his quality to a squad already filled with stellar names. The main challenge is that unlike in 2022, the Blaugrana now have Lamine Yamal, who is a starter on the right wing, the main position of the Egyptian. It would be interesting to see what Hansi Flick would do if Salah arrives at Camp Nou in the summer.
Other clubs interested in signing Salah include San Diego FC from the MLS, as well as a couple of teams from the Saudi Pro League like Al-Ittihad featuring Karim Benzema. The latter made a 100 million euro offer to sign the Liverpool player a couple of transfer windows ago.
