Liverpool supporters have been hit with unexpected news regarding Mohamed Salah’s future, raising concerns about his potential departure from the club.
Barcelona is reportedly stepping up its pursuit of the Egyptian forward, making him a top target ahead of the summer transfer window. While the Catalan club has been linked with big-name signings such as Neymar and Lionel Messi, FootMercato reports that Salah has now become their primary focus. After years of admiration, Barcelona appears ready to make a serious move for him.
Despite being 32, Salah remains one of the world’s most lethal attackers. Under Liverpool’s new manager Arne Slot, he has continued to deliver outstanding performances, scoring 32 goals and providing 22 assists in just 43 appearances this season. His impressive form has kept him in contention for the 2025 Ballon d’Or, reinforcing his status as one of football’s elite players.
With his contract set to expire in June, Salah is set to be one of the most sought-after free agents in world football. However, Barcelona isn’t the only club eager to sign him. While Liverpool hopes to extend his stay at Anfield, they face stiff competition. The Saudi Pro League is reportedly preparing a record-breaking offer, while Paris Saint-Germain has also entered the race.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Salah acknowledged the uncertainty surrounding his future. “This is my last year at the club, and I want to accomplish something special for the city. With only six months left, there has been no progress in contract talks, and at this point, we are far from an agreement. We’ll just have to wait and see,” he stated.
Speaking with TNT Sports, he also reflected on his time at Liverpool and the bond he has built with the fans. “I want Liverpool supporters to remember that I spent eight years here, always giving my best. I loved the game, worked hard, and never took anything for granted. In the end, it’s about giving your all, and when you do, the fans show their love in return,” he said.
With Barcelona, PSG, and clubs from the Saudi Pro League all competing for his signature, Salah’s next move remains uncertain. However, his decision is sure to be one of the biggest stories of the upcoming transfer window.
