PSG decided to seize their chance by contacting Mohamed Salah. The first discussions with the Liverpool star quickly led to a first agreement.
If this is a transfer window bluff, it is starting to go very far. On several occasions in recent weeks, Mohamed Salah has announced that he had not received any news from his leaders, and that he was therefore going to leave Liverpool at the end of the season. In his statements, the Egyptian left no room for doubt, believing that he had to enjoy his last moments with the Reds jersey on his back before focusing on his next club in the transfer window. This even though he is currently the best player in the Premier League, absolutely unleashed on the pitch and with incredible statistics (21 goals and 17 assists in 21 games).
PSG dreams of Mohamed Salah
PSG seized this open door even if Nasser Al-Khelaïfi prefers to remain very discreet on the subject. Free to join the club of his choice for free, Mohamed Salah was contacted by Paris, who inevitably seized the opportunity. Even if no agreement has been signed, Don Balon announces that an oral pre-agreement has been given between the two parties for the arrival of the Pharaoh in the French capital. This would obviously be a huge blow for a player who also appeals to Qatar as a representative of the Arab world. Even if PSG and Luis Enrique have widely discussed in recent months the fact that the stars were no longer the club's priority, seeing a Mohamed Salah arrive for free cannot be refused, and that is why the French champion has decided to seize this opportunity.
-If this is a trap signed by Mohamed Salah to finally extend his contract to Liverpool, which he wanted to do just a few weeks ago, then PSG clearly falls into the trap. But Nasser Al-Khelaïfi must certainly say to himself that the move must be attempted if it ever brings a headliner of European football to Paris. Especially at a time when Luis Enrique's team is clearly struggling to survive in the Champions League, even if the season can still hold a few surprises.
