Mohamed Salah has made a key decision for his future: he will continue at Liverpool until 2027. The Egyptian forward has renewed his contract with the Reds and has rejected a significant approach he had received from Barça... who saw him as a strategic piece to strengthen their forward line next season, especially at zero cost.
Mohamed Salah Stays at Liverpool: No to Barça
From the Barça camp, they had been closely following the situation of the Egyptian striker, especially given the uncertainty surrounding his continuity at Anfield. With a contract until June 30, 2025, Salah was one of the options that Barça's sports management was considering to add experience, goals, and leadership to their attack. There had even been talk of an approach between the Catalan club and the player's camp, something that has now come to nothing.
However, Liverpool has made a decisive move and has secured his renewal for two more years: until 2027... thus securing one of the most decisive footballers in the Premier League. At 32 years old (he will turn 33 in June), Mohamed Salah continues to perform at a very high level and remains the absolute leader of the team managed by Arne Slot.
Barça Seeks More Proven Talent
Barça, which seeks to strengthen its squad with proven talent, sees a top-level target slip away. Mohamed Salah was valued for his goal-scoring ability, his experience on big stages, and his competitive mentality. But the player himself has made it clear that his desire is to continue making history at Liverpool.
With this decision, the Egyptian forgoes a change of scenery and confirms his loyalty to the Reds, where he has won the Champions League, the Premier League, the FA Cup, and other important titles. At the English club, he has become a legend, and his new contract reflects the desire of both parties to continue this successful phase.
Barça will have to keep looking for alternatives in the market, while Mohamed Salah will continue scoring goals at Anfield... at least until 2027. It is also true that there were doubts with the African, occupying the same position as the great crown jewel: Lamine Yamal. In any case, the idea is to strengthen the forward line with another established winger. The option of the Egyptian was very appealing, especially due to his low price: zero euros.
