Barcelona monitoring contract situation of Egyptian superstar Mohamed Salah

Spanish giants FC Barcelona have turned their attention to Egypt forward Mohamed Salah as the player approaches the final months of his contract at Liverpool.

The two-time African Footballer of the Year’s deal expires at the end of the current season, and he has disclosed that the Reds have not yet presented him with a renewal offer.

“I’m probably more outside than inside,” Salah stated on Sunday after scoring a brace against Southampton in a 3-2 win, expressing his uncertainty regarding his future with the club.

The 32-year-old’s comments have ignited speculation across Europe, with Barcelona emerging as a strong contender for his signature.

The Catalan club had previously expressed interest in Salah during Xavi’s time as manager. However, negotiations for a contract extension between Salah and Liverpool stalled, preventing Barcelona from making any significant moves at that time.

With Salah’s current contract situation, Barcelona now finds itself in a favorable position to pursue a deal.

The prospect of signing Salah on a free transfer appeals to the club, as it would allow them to bolster their squad without incurring a hefty transfer fee.
