Barcelona’s bid to land Mohamed Salah is likely to come up short following a fresh blow.
The Blaugrana have been heavily linked with the Liverpool superstar over recent weeks, with Salah out of contract in 2023.
The Egyptian‘s contract situation has put Liverpool a difficult place, especially after a number of proposals were turned down.
That gave Barcelona a sniff, and they have been linked with a move since, with the Blaugrana sensing the opportunity to steal away one of the world’s best players on a reduced fee.
But in a fresh blow to Barca’s transfer hopes, it seems as though Salah could sign a new contract after all.
According to reports, as cited by Mundo Deportivo, Liverpool are hopeful of striking a deal that would allow the forward to finish his career at Anfield.
A new contract would end all hope of Barca landing the Premier League superstar, if indeed their interest was serious in the first place.
