Barcelona remain interested in Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah

Last month, It was reported Barcelona were willing to cede their pursuit of Mohamed Salah, in favour of two Bundesliga forwards in the form of Erling Haaland and Robert Lewandowski.

Since then, the Catalans have been priced out of a move for Haaland while facing several roadblocks in the pursuit of Lewandowski.

Such setbacks have now made Barcelona search the market for alternatives, with Darwin Nunez among the players being studied. But according to a report from Diario Sport, the club also remain interested in revisiting their pursuit of Salah.

The report indicates Barça are closely monitoring the situation of the Egyptian wizard. His current deal at Anfield expires at the end of next season and the two parties are yet to reach an agreement over a renewal.

Salah is currently holding out for a lucrative contract after years of remarkable service, helping the club win both the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League.

Barcelona, though, have remained reluctant to commit to such hefty wages for a player who is nearing the final phase of his career. It has put multiple clubs on red alert, including FC Barcelona.

Salah is rated highly among the Catalan camp due to his experience and pedigree at the highest level of football, coupled with his goalscoring prowess.

He could become an ideal attacking partner for Ferran Torres and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang next season, adding more depth and quality to the Barça frontline.

The report claims Barcelona are attentive to the situation and could make a move for Salah if he fails to reach an agreement with Liverpool over a renewal.

The Reds, though, are unlikely to offload Salah in the summer even if they fail to come to terms, while the player himself could prove to be costly due to his €17 million salary demands that could disrupt Barcelona’s wage structure heading into the new season.
