Mirror has recently reported that Barcelona have promised Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah a transfer opportunity next summer. He could exit Anfield at the end of next season as Barcelona are more than interested in bringing him to Camp Nou on a free transfer.
Salah’s Impressive Campaign For Liverpool This Season
The 29-year-old has showcased impressive displays with yet another successful campaign at Anfield throughout the season. He has managed to score 31 goals and create 15 assists over 48 appearances for the Reds across all competitions.
The Egypt-born sensation has proven to be a consistent performer after averaging 4.0 shots, 1.8 key passes and 1.5 dribbles per game in the Premier League. He has also been decent with his ball distribution making 79.1 % of his attempted passes in English top-flight football (stats via whoscored).
What Would Salah Bring To Barcelona?
The Egypt international is an offensive threat as he can use his pace to cut inside from the right flank, making runs behind the opposition and creating some clear cut goal-scoring chances. He is adept at creating space for himself and doesn’t mind taking shots from outside the penalty box. The Egyptian winger has exceptional ball control and excels at capitalising over counter-attacks.
He has established himself as one of the top wingers in Europe. At 29, he is currently in his prime and has no plans of slowing down. With Barcelona actively looking to solve their issues on the frontline, Salah fits the bill perfectly. He has the calibre to bring back glory to the Spanish giants and they could heavily rely on him.
Should the Liverpool star choose to join the Catalan giants, he would very likely be demanding a crucial role at the club. Xavi would be wise to move in for him next summer since they won’t have the necessary finances to bring him in this off-season.
