With both Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mané on contracts at Liverpool until 2023, this summer could be key for the Reds’ future.
Yes, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz have been signed in recent years to help fill the void should one or both of the Anfield stars leave in the near future, but only time will tell if the new pair will ever be as successful as the Senegalese and the Egyptian.
If neither renew their contracts with Liverpool, this summer would likely be the last time for the Reds to make any money from their transfers, meaning an exit would probably take place then.
When it comes to Salah, recent reports have suggested that Barcelona are interested, but they know it won’t be easy to sign him, regardless of his contract.
Cadena SER Catalunya have an article on the matter on Tuesday, explaining the Egypt international is one of the names being looked at by the La Liga side, with ‘several teams on the prowl, including Barça’.
The problem for them is that ‘Liverpool are not going to facilitate Salah’s transfer to a club like Barcelona, but it’s not impossible for him to leave since the player’s contract ends in 2023’.
This is all common knowledge within the Catalan club, who know Jürgen Klopp and his merry men will not ‘give away’ a player of the forward’s importance, but it’s pointed out the 29-year-old would be ‘one of Xavi’s requests if Erling Haaland did not arrive’, who is the man put at the top of the list to fill the number nine role at the Camp Nou.
