Barcelona's RIDICULOUS Mohamed Salah Liverpool offer REVEALED

Mohamed Salah’s future is still up in the air, with just six weeks to go before the Liverpool legend is able to sign a pre-contract agreement with foreign clubs.

Like fellow leaders Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, time is running out for Liverpool’s Sporting Director Richard Hughes to strike a deal to keep Salah at the club.

Salah plays nearly every minute of every game for Arne Slot, and recently admitted during an interview with the club that he's been thinking a lot about his future.

"When Bobby left, for example, you realise that everybody will leave one day," Salah said. "So I don’t take that for granted.

Slot has found a way to take Salah to the next level this season, with his performances as impressive as ever since he made the move to Anfield in 2017. The Egyptian forward seems to have found new motivation this year and is one of the team's driving forces as they make a claim for silverware in Slot's first season at the helm.

Despite all this, Reds fans are still waiting on the news of a new contract. Salah is said to have options in Saudi Arabia and Europe, with one club reportedly looking to capitalise on the distance between him and Liverpool.

Barcelona want to sign Salah

According to Spanish outlet Fichajes, Barcelona want to take their attack to the next level and are preparing a shock move for Salah.

The report says that Barcelona’s president, Joan Laporta, is already “moving pieces to achieve a signing that would undoubtedly shake up the world football landscape.”

Barcelona have been in flying form under German coach Hansi Flick this season, and are top of La Liga having already beaten Real Madrid 4-0 in the Bernabeu.

The report states that Barcelona are looking to add Salah as a "luxury reinforcement" to bolster their attacking line.

But would Salah join Barcelona? We can't see it happening - not in a million years.

First of all, Salah is the world's best player. Why would he want to join a Barcelona side that are only just now returning to what looks like their best? The Spanish side have generally struggled to keep up with Real Madrid and haven't been in a Champions League final since 2015. Salah is 32 and will only want to play for a side that are well-placed to fight for that trophy.

Secondly, Barcelona are notoriously poor at managing their finances. This is a club who have had to leave their star signing from last season, Ilkay Gundogan, return to Man City because they needed to save money. It's a club who, during the summer, struggled with signing players to contract extensions as they were in breach of La Liga financial rules. It's not a club who can afford to pay Salah what he wants.

And finally, Lamine Yamal is Barcelona's best and most valuable player. He also plays in Salah's position. It would be a poor move for Barcelona to bring in a player of Salah's reputation to play ahead of Yamal.

Why Liverpool need to keep Salah

Salah has been in incredible form for Liverpool this season - he’s got 20 goal involvements across all competitions in just 17 games.

The most-impressive part is that he is contributing with both goals and assists for Slot’s side. Unlike Haaland, who has 12 goals but 0 assists for Man City in the Premier League, Salah is affecting all parts of the game. He’s even showing a renewed appetite for defensive work, and was singled out for praise by Slot after the 2-0 victory over Aston Villa.

“It’s special that he scores so many goals already; what makes it even more impressive is that he does this year after year after year,” Slot told liverpoolfc.com. “Not many players are able to do that and that he is able to do this tells you a lot about the quality he has.”

Slot’s reference to Salah doing it “year after year after year” could be considered a sign that the boss wants to keep his star forward around after the end of this season.

And for all Reds fans, it’s clear that Liverpool must pay him whatever he wants.
