Mohamed Salah replaces "Haaland" in Barcelona

 Spanish newspaper reports revealed Barcelona’s interest in the Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool player, at a time when negotiations to renew the Egyptian pharaoh’s contract, which ends in June 2023, were suspended.

Mohamed Salah's contract with Liverpool expires in June 2023, and the two parties did not reach an agreement despite the start of negotiations a while ago, and the Egyptian star wants to get a weekly salary of 400,000 pounds, which the Reds administration refuses to not break the salary ceiling within the club.

And the Spanish newspaper "AS" reported that Mohamed Salah is the first choice for Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez, in the event that Borussia Dortmund player Erling Haaland is not signed.

The newspaper added that "Barcelona has communicated with some close to Mohamed Salah, and there is a positive feeling, especially since the player and his agent welcome the change of atmosphere after 5 years in Liverpool. He will be one of the important players in the Spanish coach's project with the Catalan club."

And the newspaper continued, "With Xavi in ​​the Catalan giant, the transfer of the Egyptian star may be large to join a strong attacking battalion and be a strong attacking trio with Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati in the future with the presence of Pierre Emeric Aubameyang, Adama Traore, Abdel Samad Zalzouli and Ferran Gutgala."

The newspaper confirmed that contracting with Salah will not completely close the door to the idea of ​​contracting with Halland, as the Catalan club can wait 3 or 4 seasons to contract with the Norwegian striker in the future, when the duo Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Salah are in their last periods in the stadiums.

And she continued: “Barcelona sees that the Mohamed Salah deal is possible opposite Halland in terms of market value, as it can take place for a fee ranging from 60 to 70 million euros to Liverpool, bearing in mind that the player may leave for free in the summer of 2023 and 100 million euros. As an estimated salary if Mohamed Salah signs a contract for 4 years.”
