The future of Mohamed Salah remains a hot topic as he enters the final year of his Liverpool contract.
Salah's current deal is set to expire in the summer of 2023 and so far he has been unable to reach terms over extending his Anfield stay, despite negotiations between his representatives and the club taking place. Prior to the Reds' Champions League final with Real Madrid, the 29-year-old stated he would remain on Merseyside for the 2022/23 season, though what comes after that is still uncertain.
According to a report, the Egypt international could leave Liverpool as a free agent next year and Barcelona are said to be leading the way for his services. The article states that Salah had told his close friends that he was prepared to sign an extension with the Reds, before being offered a deal to sign for Barcelona next summer, which has seen him 'perform a U-turn'. It has also been claimed that it’s Barca’s verbal offer that is a major reason behind Salah stalling on a new deal with the Reds.
