Today, Sunday, the expert in the transfer of Italian players, Fabrizio Romano, advised Liverpool to renew the contract with Egyptian star Mohamed Salah, in light of the interest of Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain in France.
Romano told the Italian newspaper, Gazzetta dello Five, that Salah wants to stay at Anfield, but he wants a serious contract with the Reds, because he is fully aware of the possibility of obtaining “massive” money at another club.
Liverpool are seeking to retain the Premier League's top scorer this season (20 goals), but it does not look very optimistic at the moment, with the club keen to maintain the current wage structure for its players, according to the transfer expert.
However, Romano said, “It is best for Liverpool not to shy away from their successful strategy, but at the same time Salah appears to be a good enough player to get off these regulations. It is hard to imagine that they would easily find a replacement without spending a fortune anyway, so why not? Allocate this money to give him the wage he wants?
And the British newspaper, "Mirror", revealed that there is a competition between Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain in order to include Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool star and the captain of the Egyptian national team, next summer.
And the British newspaper added that Paris Saint-Germain will not face any problem in meeting Salah’s requests in terms of his weekly salary, as the French team is preparing for a collective exit in the upcoming transfer period, and with the possibility of Kylian Mbappe joining Real Madrid in a free deal this summer, Salah will be the best compensation.
The newspaper added that Barcelona is also keen for the 29-year-old Salah to come to the "Camp Nou" next season, and he wants to pay nearly $80 million, but it is believed that Liverpool will demand about $110 million to dispense with his top scorer.
These reports reinforce the fact that Salah has not reached an agreement on renewal with his club, Liverpool, so far, as some reports revealed Salah’s desire to get double his current weekly salary of about 250 thousand dollars to agree to renew his contract, which expires in the summer of 2023.
