“Barcelona promised” to Mohamed Salah .. a leaked agreement that angered the Liverpool administration
The newspaper “Mirror” revealed that the main reason behind the anger of the Liverpool club’s management, especially its American owners, against the top scorer of Liverpool and the English Premier League, Mohamed Salah, is not only because he wants to complete his current contract and leave the team for free in the summer of 2023 to an England club, but because he has already He received a "promise from Barcelona that he is welcome when he completes his contract and moves for free with a salary and great benefits with the Catalan club."
The Liverpool administration has been under great pressure for more than a year, due to the failure of several attempts to reach an agreement to extend Salah's contract and give him the annual salary he wants, exceeding twenty million euros.
The newspaper said that Salah had obtained an unspoken promise from the Barcelona administration led by President Joan Laporta, and this came after the Catalan club concluded a large sponsorship agreement with the company “Spotify” of about 300 million euros.
And the “Mirror” said that it was found that this agreement, which was recently leaked, is the main reason for the anger that prevails among Liverpool officials, according to sources from the club.
It was remarkable a week ago when Mohamed Salah said that he was committed to staying with Liverpool next season, without mentioning the renewal of his contract, other than what he was talking about months before that.
This matter was explained that Salah intends to complete the remaining season of his contract, and move to another club, and the English media reported a few days ago about Salah’s desire to play for Manchester City, but the truth is that Salah is willing to go through an experience with Barcelona, and that the matter developed into an unfair agreement. advertiser.
This is consistent with the dialogue in which Mohamed Salah spoke of his clear desire to play in the Spanish League, and he had previously said literally with Barcelona or Real Madrid, which confirmed the suspicions of the Liverpool administration that the Egyptian star was no longer willing to negotiate the renewal of his contract, and that he had already settled his matter. .
The newspaper said that Barcelona coach Xavi is very impressed with Salah's capabilities and skills, and wants to build a strong team for Barcelona, with his determination to bring in the best stars in the coming period.
The Liverpool administration has become between two bittersweet things. On the one hand, it does not want to give Salah the contract he wants, especially since he is on the verge of 30 years old, and also does not want to lose him for free after a year.
There is another pressure on Liverpool, due to the expected departure of the second best Liverpool player after Salah, Senegalese Sadio Mane, who receives a modest salary, and the Liverpool administration refuses to give him a better salary, as he receives 6.5 million euros, which is ranked 11th in the team’s salary arrangement, even The Guinean Naby Keita (7.5 million euros), and Mane got an excellent agreement with Bayern Munich for 15 million euros, an annual salary and many benefits, and he said two days ago that he no longer wanted to play for Liverpool, and wanted to leave next summer.
