The Egypt international has announced he will be ending his time at Anfield once this current season comes to a close, and it’s not yet clear where he could go next.
Our sources have indicated that the Saudi Pro League or MLS are likely options for Salah, but it could be that he’ll still end up staying in Europe.
That’s according to Fichajes, who report that Barcelona are tempted to swoop for Salah, with manager Hansi Flick already planning a role for him in his team.
Despite Salah’s dip in form this season, it may be that the 33-year-old still has it in him to perform at the highest level.
Barcelona transfer could be ideal next step for Mohamed Salah
We’ve seen the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi continuing to play into their late 30s at top European clubs, and it looks like Salah could have it in him to do the same.
However, there’s no doubt that that would be slightly easier for him if he swapped the fast and furious Premier League for the slightly slower-paced and technical La Liga.
Salah could in fact come in and take the place of Robert Lewandowski up front in this Barca side, with the Poland international set to turn 38 later this year.
Lewandowski has been able to perform at a high level during his four years in Spain, so perhaps Salah can now step into that role and aim for something similar.
This story comes as Jamie Carragher speculated that Salah might still be eyeing one more European club before thinking about somewhere like the Saudi Pro League or MLS.
