The prospect of losing Mohamed Salah to Barcelona on a free transfer in 15 months’ time is almost too painful for Liverpool fans to even contemplate. But the club’s recent acquisition of Luis Diaz can paint a more positive image about what the future holds under Jurgen Klopp.
According to reports in Catalonia, the La Liga giants are making ambitious plans for the summer as Xavi Hernandez looks to bolster his squad. At the top of his shopping list is another top forward, with Salah, Erling Haaland and Robert Lewandowski reportedly targeted by the La Liga giants.
Talks over Salah’s new deal are yet to resume since stalling in December, with the player’s agent Ramy Abbas unwilling to return to the negotiating table until an improved offer is made. But with Liverpool reluctant to alter their wage structure to meet Salah’s demands, a game of brinkmanship has begun.
