Barcelona are reportedly interested in signing Liverpool superstar Mohamed Salah this summer, as speculation regarding his future continues.

The Lowdown: Salah's future up in the air

Salah has been a sensational player for the Reds since joining from Roma in 2017 - he has scored 153 goals in 239 appearances and you could certainly argue he is the world's best footballer on current form, with 38 direct goal involvements from 36 matches in all competitions this term.

Unfortunately, Liverpool and the player's representatives are yet to agree a new deal for the 29-year-old, with his current contract expiring in the summer of 2023.

Salah's future continues to dominate the headlines and a fresh transfer rumour has now emerged.

The Latest: Barca keen on move

According to Sport [via Sport Witness], Salah's name is 'on the table' at Barca, as they look to pull off a stunning move at the end of the season.

Their interest in the Egyptian has 'grown in recent days’ and they see him as an alternative to Erling Haaland if they fail to sign the Borussia Dortmund striker.

The report claims they are 'monitoring' Salah's contract talks, which are 'far from reaching an agreement’.

The Verdict: Such a sticky situation

This feels like a saga that is going to run and run, which is far from ideal, considering Liverpool are battling across four competitions and could do without any distractions.

In truth, it looks as though Salah is going to move on if a compromise can't be met, with the Reds willing to up his wages but his agent seemingly still unhappy with the terms offered, even going so far as to drop hints on Twitter during Jurgen Klopp's press conferences.

It would be devastating for Liverpool to lose their star player, but equally, no individual is bigger than the club and if an agreement doesn't come to fruition, the Reds will continue to shine without him, hopefully using the funds received to good effect.
