Barcelona’s Interest in Man City Strikers Has Not Diminished, Mohamed Salah Is the Target of Xavi Hernandez

DBasia.news – Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernandez, reportedly asked the management to try to bring in Liverpool striker, Mohamed Salah. Xavi rate, Salah is a player who will make Barca stronger.

Xavi continues to shape Barcelona back into a strong team. One of the proofs is that Barca are unbeaten in the last 12 matches. Nine games were swept clean with a win.

However, Xavi realized that to be able to compete again in Spain and Europe, Barca needed to strengthen themselves. One of the ways is to bring in new ammunition.

So far, Franck Kessie is a player who has reportedly agreed to join on a free transfer. In addition, there are also Andreas Christensen and Cesar Azpilicueta whose contracts will also expire next summer.

Now, Xavi’s focus is on strengthening the front sector. Mundo Deportivo reports that the player being targeted is Mohamed Salah.

Initially, Barca chased Erling Haaland. However, Barcelona thought again because the cost spent to bring Haaland was estimated at 300 million euros, including the contract value.

Now, Barcelona is waiting for the development of the process of extending Salah’s contract with Liverpool which has never come to light. The Reds are on the brink because Salah’s contract expires in June 2023. Therefore, if they don’t agree, the transfer market at the end of this season is the right time to sell Salah to reduce the risk of losing for free.

Problem funds, Barcelona is not too worried. Because, Barca got a loan from Goldman Sachs for 500 million euros. The injection of funds allowed Barca to breathe a sigh of relief from the LaLiga rules that saw them fail to sign Lionel Messi last summer.

Apart from Salah, Barcelona are reportedly also targeting Robert Lewandowski as an alternative. The Bayern Munich striker also has his contract expiring next year.
