Barcelona boss Xavi is 'fixated' on bring Liverpool's Mohamed Salah to the Nou Camp next season as his contract saga with the Reds rumbles on. Salah is fast approaching the final year of his contract and could leave for a cut-price deal if he can't agree terms with Liverpool.
Unsurprisingly, many clubs are after the services of Salah after the Egyptian has already hit 20 goals for Liverpool in the Premier League this season. Liverpool are fighting on all fronts still and much of this success is down to the form the Reds number 11 has shown.
Liverpool have a choice to make, either give in to Salah's wishes and pay him what he wants or sell him for a cut price fee this summer or let him leave for nothing - and possibly to a rival - in the summer of 2023.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Los Cules have made Salah a top target as they look at cheaper alternatives to Erling Haaland. The Borussia Dortmund striker is desperately wanted by club president Joan Laporta, but the total outlay of a deal will cost £300 million - pricing Barcelona out of the race.
After Lionel Messi left the Spanish giants for Paris Saint Germain in the summer, Barcelona are looking for another star to come in and attempt to fill the void left by the Argentine superstar. It seems as though manager Xavi is hoping this could be Salah.
