Barca on the Spot for Salah
BARCELONA want to make Mo Salah their key summer signing after clinching a multi-million sponsorship deal with Spotify.
The Spanish giants appear to have solved their financial crisis — which saw them offload Lionel Messi — thanks to a £236million naming rights contract on their stadium, which from next season will be known as the Spotify Camp Nou.
That has given them the opportiunity to once again pursue some of Europe’s top players, with Salah heading the list.
The striker has told Liverpool he wants to stay, with talks over a new contract ongoing, but that won’t stop Barcelona trying to throw a spanner in the works.
The Egyptian king of the Kop only has 14 months of his current deal left, with Liverpool’s owners unlikely to allow him to run it down and leave for nothing.
Salah is aware of Barca’s interest and is yet to sign a new contract, worth around £400,000 a week.
Barcelona, keen to renew their title rivalry with Real Madrid, are also in the market for around six other new players.
