FC Barcelona has landed on the shortlist of a €100 million Liverpool talisman facing an uncertain Anfield future.
The 33-year-old forward, whose recent irregular form has fueled debate despite his legendary status, has reportedly made direct contact with three continental giants seeking to prolong his elite career rather than entertain Saudi Pro League overtures that promise astronomical wages but diminished competitiveness.
The player is Mohamed Salah, whose fractured relationship with Liverpool coach Arne Slot has reached a breaking point, culminating in his exclusion from the Champions League squad list and public accusations of being “thrown under the bus” by the club, as reported by Fichajes.
Salah has offered himself to Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Bayern Munich, with intermediaries presenting his availability during the January window when Liverpool could capitalize on a sale before his contract extension runs its course.
Real Madrid emerges as the most realistic destination, given their chronic need for a right-wing solution beyond Vinícius Jr.’s left-sided dominance, where Salah’s experience, goal threat, and big-game mentality would provide immediate impact.
Bayern Munich also appeals strongly, aligning its pace and finishing with the Bundesliga’s high-tempo demands and offering Champions League pedigree without financial barriers.
Barcelona represents the romantic wildcard—a “dream” move for the Egyptian despite Lamine Yamal and Raphinha occupying the right flank, though the Blaugrana’s salary constraints and Financial Fair Play limitations render it the least feasible option.
Liverpool, aware this could be their final chance to extract value from their talisman amid dressing-room discord, views a January exit as pragmatic, potentially fetching €100M-plus to reinvest in Arne Slot’s squad rebuild.
Salah’s preference for European football over Middle Eastern riches underscores his ambition, but the coming weeks will determine whether Anfield nostalgia prevails or a new chapter dawns elsewhere.
