Barcelona president Joan Laporta has fired a warning shot at Liverpool over Mohamed Salah, with a very clear statement of intent over his prospective transfer.
The Egyptian striker has 15 months left on his contract at Anfield and talks over an extension are yet to yield a positive outcome. The Reds are desperate to pen their talismanic frontman down to a new deal, but as time ticks by, their concerns will be mounting.
Indeed, Liverpool owners FSG are willing to make Salah their best-paid player of all time. However, the Americans do have a pay structure and are not willing to go too high for the 29-year-old.
Reports state Salah is looking for a wage of around £400,000 – one in keeping with his status as one of the world’s elite stars.
However, while FSG are willing to offer him a payrise, the two parties seemingly remain some distance apart.
Salah has scored at least 23 goals in each season he’s had at Anfield. That initial £36.9m deal will perhaps go down as one of the greatest signings in the club’s history.
And in total, Salah has 153 goals in just 259 appearances for the Reds.
However, a parting of ways is looking ever more possible possible.
