Barcelona want to sign Liverpool star on a Bosman move in 2023

In a major development, as reported by the Mirror, Barcelona intend to sign Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah on a free transfer in 2023 and have informed him of the same.

Salah is one of the best forwards in the game currently and has been a top player for Liverpool since joining them from AS Roma in 2017. However, his future has been a subject of intense transfer speculation of late due to his contract situation.

The Egyptian international’s current deal with the Reds runs out in a year and talks over a renewal have not progressed well. Despite the fact that he will be entering the final 12 months of his contract, Salah recently vowed to continue at Anfield for the upcoming season.

The report even states that the 29-year-old had informed close friends that he would negotiate a new deal eventually with Jurgen Klopp’s side.

However, Barcelona’s entry into the picture has brought about a change in the situation. The Catalans are confident that they will be in a position to sign Salah on a Bosman deal when his contract with Liverpool runs out in 2023.

Salah has previously spoken about his desire to test himself in La Liga. And the prospect of joining Barça next year is of great appeal to the former Chelsea ace, who has now put contract negotiations with Liverpool back on hold.

It has raised some concerns within the Liverpool camp, who are now having reservations over his situation. While Salah has reiterated that he remains committed to the club for the upcoming season, the Reds are not sure about keeping hold of him and letting him run down his deal.

If Liverpool decide to cash in on Salah this summer itself, Barcelona could be forced to make a choice as they are already targeting a marquee attacker in the form of Robert Lewandowski and are confident of landing him.
