Sunday, after the Liverpool match, Mohamed Salah dropped a bomb on his future and believes he is closer to a departure at the end of the season than an extension. Several clubs will study the file, including Barça. However, a major problem persists for the Blaugrana.
Sunday evening, for the resumption of the championships after the international break, Liverpool won at Southampton and consolidated their place as leader of the Premier League. Mohamed Salah gave the Reds victory from the penalty spot in the final minutes, but the Egyptian gave a real indication about his future after the match. The former Fiorentina assured that he was closer to leaving at the end of the season, he who reaches the end of his contract next June after eight seasons spent in the north of England. Several clubs are naturally interested in the profile of the 32-year-old player, including FC Barcelona. However, the arrival of the Egyptian in Catalonia will pose a particular problem and this for a special reason if we trust the information from Mundo Deportivo.
An arrival of Salah could block Lamine Yamal at Barça
Mohamed Salah's preferred position is to play right winger. Being left-handed, he has the same characteristics as the young prodigy Lamine Yamal, who has just turned 17. The two men play in a hallway where their strong foot is reversed. The Catalan management has considered in recent hours whether to sign Salah, for whom Barça will have to offer a contract for a minimum duration of three seasons. Too great a risk to block the progress of the European champion with La Roja this summer? If we place ourselves on the side of the Barcelona supporters, the answer is surely yes. On the other hand, the opportunity to recruit a player who is free from any contract and who does not present any transfer compensation is an opportunity that Barcelona and the biggest European clubs will have to think about.
