Mohamed Salah has been linked to Liverpool several times over the past few years, as Barcelona is close to the temptation of Mersiside in 2022
Muhammad Salih is no longer completely rare, but in 2022, one of the tense nodes was particularly wandering on the surface. In this season, the Liverpool star was resisting the temptation of velvet Saudi-covered Saudi Arabia-but three years ago, Barcelona was singing the siren song.
The Catalan giants had attached to a baffled promise of free transportation in 2023 when Salah's contract was scheduled – and the Egyptian king was thinking seriously. The Barcelona magic attack was effective, but it may not have been necessary to get the club's position and irresistible appeal.
After spenting his 29 -year -old head of his career, Salah began to throw strange looks at the new pastures. He was also looking for a height of wages, reflecting its goal and goal – after scored 31 times in successive seasons.
Barcelona, who was keen to rebuild in the shadow of the new director Xavi after bearing the drought of the league title for three years – has longed for more than two decades. Lionel Messi left the summer before, and Los Colls was desperate for a new talisman to attack, with Osman Dembele, which is 88 million pounds in delivering amid conflicts with both physical fitness and shape.
Salah was not actively looking to move away from Liverpool, and close friends reassured that it was only a matter of time before signing the extension of the contract. But Barcelona's interest was forced to a sudden rethink, and criticized the brakes.
This came in a sensitive moment: Liverpool and a weapon have been imprisoned in contracts for more than a year, and his decision to stop negotiations in light of the Barcelona offer sent a somewhat clear message: he was not only ready to leave, but he might actually welcome him.
Liverpool held their breath, knowing that the loss of their leg will come as a huge blow – especially on free transportation. After all, Salah dug his entire name in the club's history books, after he launched them to the first Premier League title in 30 years, as well as to Glusty Glory – and won more than 150 goals along the way.
But the requirements of his contract were very slope. Already among the best Premier League owners on £ 200,000 per week, Salah was almost twice that number in his new deal. The red, caution of wage structure, was hesitant in fold.
Ultimately, though, the epic lasted just a few weeks ago before Salah put an end to speculation, as she signed a new contract for a period of 350,000 pounds per week.
Whether Barcelona's interest is Liverpool to work, or whether the aspirations of the Spanish club were always directed to solve it under its financial fears, we will never know. What is clear is that their tempting stadium has never become more than that – a dream that wears a place but wraps in a non -practical.
What remains is the confusing “What if.” The moment of the moment that did not flirt with anything else.
There is a thin line between loyalty and football jamming – a dance line along more than once. He listened to the shows, entertaining capabilities, allowing speculation speculation – most notably, spending many of the 2024/25 season in forgetting, amid another tense confrontation and an arrogant offer from the Saudi League.
But the bottom line is that it has always been in its position. In an era in which loyalty is often short -term like shape, Salah's constant commitment to Liverpool is worthy of respect.
Regardless of the external flirtation, it is an option he made, over and over again – proves that while his eyes were wandering, his heart never left Anfield.
