BREAKING NEWS: coming live from Fabrizio Romano, Barcelona agree incredible move to sign Liverpool’s best player.

Barcelona missed the opportunity to sign Nico Williams from Athletic Club this summer, and it now appears that their attention has shifted to pursuing a top Liverpool player.

Under Hansi Flick’s leadership, Barcelona has undergone a revival, particularly impressing with their defensive solidity, such as when they neutralized Kylian Mbappe in El Clasico. While it’s too early to say the club is back at its peak, Flick’s tactical changes have put them on a positive trajectory. His strategies have turned Barcelona into a potent counter-attacking side, relying on a high defensive line placed close to the halfway mark—a bold, high-risk strategy.

As Barcelona continues to improve, their resurgence could make them more attractive to potential signings, especially if they manage to secure another La Liga title. This momentum may explain why club president Joan Laporta is reportedly working on a move to bring Liverpool’s Mo Salah to the club at the end of the season, according to Sport.

Although Salah will be 33 by the start of the 2025/26 season, his on-field impact is still significant. He has scored nine goals and provided nine assists in the Champions League this season alone. Despite his age, his potential availability on a free transfer makes him a financially attractive option for Barcelona, especially when compared to the cost of acquiring Williams. This financial advantage, combined with Salah’s consistent performances, has led Barcelona to prioritize him over Williams for now.

Given Nico Williams’ youth, Barcelona may revisit their interest in him in the future, possibly in a season or two when they are in a stronger position to pursue him. For the time being, Salah remains with Liverpool, who will undoubtedly aim to extend his contract before January to prevent him from negotiating with other clubs.
