A Liverpool star offers himself to FC Barcelona and shakes up the market

Mohamed Salah is set to be one of the major players in the upcoming summer transfer market. The Egyptian's contract with Liverpool expires at the end of the season, and as of today, negotiations with the 'reds' for a renewal are stalled despite the player's desire to continue playing at Anfield Road. For this reason, the forward is beginning to analyze his options outside of England and has reportedly set his sights on the Catalan city.

This is reported by the newspaper 'SPORT', which reveals that the 'Pharaoh' has offered his services to the FC Barcelona to join the ranks of Hansi Flick for the next season. The African star is having a stellar season, scoring 32 goals and providing 22 assists in 41 matches played and presenting himself as the leading candidate to win the Ballon d'Or if he manages to lift a title at the end of the current season.

The Catalan team, for its part, would welcome the incorporation of 'Mo' into their squad. In fact, at the end of 2024, there was a rapprochement between both parties, but it remained merely a contact. However, the Catalans are aware of the many difficulties of the Egyptian's operation, which, despite fitting the profile sought by the sports management to strengthen the attack, would require a significant financial sacrifice to wear the blaugrana jersey.

Saudi Arabia insists on signing Salah

Salah currently earns a salary close to 18 million euros gross, a sum that is extremely high for the salary scale of Barça. Meanwhile, Al-Hilal has already reportedly made him an offer that would be around 50 million euros per season, which would make him one of the highest-paid footballers in the world and is completely out of reach for any European club.

If the 'Pharaoh', who will turn 33 in the coming months, prioritizes financial over sporting reasons, it will be impossible to compete with the Saudis. Nevertheless, the forward does not have a decision made, and his future is more open than ever.

At Can Barça, they understand that if Mohamed's offer has arrived, it is because he wishes to continue his career away from Liverpool and the Premier League, but still competing at the highest level in the elite. The Egyptian's option remains on the club's table, although they are clear that if he wants to be at Flick's disposal, he will have to significantly reduce his earnings to make his arrival feasible.
