Barcelona mulling over move for Liverpool forward after contract negotiations hit roadblock

Despite the immense success on the pitch, it could be a difficult few weeks for Liverpool as they look to tie key players down to long-term contracts.

One of the players facing an uncertain future at the club is Mohamed Salah. With the Egyptian’s ongoing deal expiring in 2023, the player is demanding an improved contract that would see him earn almost double his current wage.

Liverpool have been reluctant in meeting Salah’s demands, which has led to an impasse over the negotiations.

While Salah remains keen on prolonging his stay at Anfield, it appears the forward has recently rejected the club’s advances and could be set for a move away from Liverpool in the summer.

Quite naturally, the Egyptian’s current contract situation at Liverpool has put a number of clubs on red alert. And according to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona are no exception.

The report relays Fabrizio Romano’s claims, suggesting Liverpool could be keen on offloading Salah in the summer if they fail to negotiate a new deal before the end of the season.

In the event of a potential departure, Barcelona could consider making a move for Mo Salah. The Egyptian frontman has been identified as a potential alternative to top target Erling Haaland, who is yet to make a decision on his future.

Salah could join Barca’s long list of existing alternatives that include the likes of SL Benfica’s Darwin Nunez as well as Bundesliga forwards Andre Silva and Patrik Schick. Whether or not the Catalans can get their hands on any of these star players remains to be seen.
