Liverpool star now ‘willing to change teams’ as transfer to Barcelona becomes ‘feasible’
Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool forward, is reportedly open to leaving Anfield, with a transfer to Barcelona becoming increasingly likely. The Egypt international’s contract, which is set to expire next summer, has yet to see an offer for renewal, but Salah’s impressive form—scoring over 20 goals for seven consecutive seasons—suggests he is on track to continue this run.
Although Al Ittihad made a £150 million bid for Salah last year, Liverpool made it clear he was not for sale. The speculation around his future persisted during the summer transfer window, but no solid interest materialized. Now, with the prospect of Salah leaving on a free transfer in June, rumors about his future are resurfacing.
Reports suggest Salah is seeking a lucrative three-year contract to stay at Liverpool, but the club has been hesitant to offer long-term deals to players in their 30s. Recently, after scoring the winning goal against Brighton, Salah posted a cryptic message on social media, expressing his gratitude to the fans and reaffirming his commitment to the team.According to Spanish outlet Sport, Salah is now open to changing clubs, making a move to Barcelona “feasible.” This news is reportedly welcomed by Barcelona president Joan Laporta, who had tried to bring Salah to the Catalan club in the summer of 2022. While Salah initially listened to Barcelona’s offers, he did not pursue the move due to financial considerations.
However, with Barcelona still interested, they will be able to negotiate with Salah in January if he hasn’t signed a new contract with Liverpool. Salah’s style of play reportedly fits the profile Barcelona is seeking to strengthen their offensive attack.
