Mohamed Salah made a transfer promise to Barcelona, giving Liverpool a new headache.
Mohamed Salah, the Liverpool superstar, has confirmed that he will play at Anfield next season, but the Reds are under pressure to make a decision on the Egyptian sooner rather than later due to his contract status.
Barcelona has informed Mohamed Salah that he will be able to join their incoming galaxy of stars at the Nou Camp next summer.
With a £235 million naming rights deal with audio streaming platform Spotify, the Spanish giants have begun rebuilding their squad in preparation for a resurgence in domestic and international competition.
Salah, who has yet to sign a new contract with Liverpool, has been promised a free transfer to the Catalan giants next summer.
The Barcelona factor is thought to be a major reason for the forward's stalling on a new contract, despite informing close friends a few months ago that he was ready to extend his Merseyside stay.
Xavi is already confident of bringing in Bayern Munich's prolific goalscorer Robert Lewandowski and has spoken with Wolves playmaker Ruben Neves.
It forces Liverpool to make a difficult decision before returning to pre-season training in preparation for prestigious friendlies in Asia.
While Salah insists he is committed to a new Liverpool season even if he does not sign a new contract, the club is undecided about letting him run it down.
This could force Barcelona or other interested clubs to make a decision sooner, which is far from ideal for manager Jurgen Klopp.
"I don't want to talk about the contract now, I'm staying next season for sure, that's clear," Salah said ahead of the Champions League final.
