Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is the top name on a six-man list of Barcelona transfer targets, say reports, as the Spanish club look to take advantage of the Egyptian’s uncertain future.
Salah’s contract is set to expire at the end of next season and new terms are yet to be agreed despite lengthy negotiations.
“I have one year left. I think the fans know what I want, but in the contract it’s not everything about the money at all. So I don’t know, I can’t tell you exactly. I have one year left and the fans know what I want,” Salah said in the latest issue of FourFourTwo.
According to the Mirror, Barcelona are hoping to tempt the 29-year-old to leave Anfield at the end of the season for Camp Nou.
The Spanish giants’ financial issues have eased since they agreed a £236 million naming rights deal with Spotify, which will see their iconic stadium renamed the Spotify Camp Nou from next season.
That injection of cash will allow Barca to pursue big-name players this summer, and they are considering a bid that could attract Salah and tempt Liverpool to cash in and avoid the risk of losing him on a free transfer a year later.
