Barcelona president Joan Laporta has claimed it is 'clear' that players such as Mohamed Salah want to join the Spanish giants.
Salah’s future has been discussed at length in recent weeks with the 29-year-old yet to agree to a new deal with the Reds. When asked about the contract negotiations earlier this month, Jurgen Klopp said that Liverpool 'cannot do much more' except wait for the forward's final decision.
Salah has been in fine form for Liverpool this season, scoring 28 times in 36 appearances in all competitions for Klopp's side. The ECHO understands that negotiations are ongoing between the forward's representatives and the club, with Salah in the final two years of his current deal that was signed in 2018.

The Reds are keen to reward the Egyptian for his continued outstanding contribution since arriving from Roma for £43.9million in the summer of 2017. Liverpool have extended the contracts of several players over the last year.
But due to him not putting pen-to-paper, Salah has been linked with a move to the Nou Camp in recent weeks, while Juventus have also been named as a possible destination for the forward. And when asked about the links to Salah, and Bayern Munich forward Robert Lewandowski, Laporta offered a rather cryptic response.
"Top players want to join Barca, that's clear", he told Spanish radio station RAC1. "I can't say if we're in talks for Lewandowski and Salah or not - or into the club they'll tell me that I'm creating problems in the negotiations".
