Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah is reportedly a target for Barcelona heading into the summer transfer window.
Mohamed Salah has been one of the best attackers in the Premier League since moving to Liverpool, and he has helped them win every single trophy at the club level. A report from journalist Ramon Salmurri claims that Barcelona are looking to sign the 30-year-old from Liverpool in the summer.
Salah has been in outstanding form for Liverpool since joining the club, and he has 22 goals and 11 assists across all competitions this season. The player has been linked with Real Madrid as well.
The Liverpool talisman was linked with a move away from the Premier League club last year. But he ended up signing a long-term extension with them. It is highly unlikely that Liverpool will cash in on the Egyptian anytime soon. And Barcelona will probably have to look elsewhere for attacking reinforcements.
Furthermore, the Liverpool star is on massive wages, and Barcelona might not be able to afford him given their financial restrictions. The Catalan giants are going through financial difficulties, and they might need to cash in on some of their fringe players during the summer transfer window to balance the books.
It is no secret that Barcelona need to add more quality in the final third. And someone like Salah could transform them in the attack. Summer signing Raphinha has been hugely underwhelming so far, and the Egyptian international would be a massive upgrade on the Brazilian star.
Apart from his ability to score goals consistently, the Liverpool talisman will chip in with assists as well. Furthermore, the 30-year-old is a hardworking player with a relentless work ethic. Liverpool will demand a massive sum of money if Barcelona come calling for the Egyptian international. So it remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Apart from Salah, Barcelona are reportedly keeping tabs on the Liverpool winger Luis Diaz as well. Both players are considered as indispensable assets at the Premier League club. So signing them could prove to be very difficult for Barcelona.
Liverpool have had a dismal campaign so far and could struggle to secure Champions League qualification. Replacing players like Salah and Diaz without the Champions League would be an impossible task. So Liverpool are likely to hold on to them for the foreseeable future.
