They had no money for Messi, the 40 million player Barca are now looking for and infuriates fans

The failed return of Lionel Messi by FC Barcelona this summer is something that will not be easily erased from the memory of the culés fans. The Catalan team did its best to bring back the best player in its history, but when it failed to offer him guarantees, the player decided to sign for Inter Miami of the MLS. Now, the club makes an unexpected move that does not please the fans at all.

Xavi Hernandez's team's priority is to reinforce its squad for next season. The Culé team has been extremely clear about its intentions and after the arrival of Iikay Gundogan, it is now looking for the arrival of another player who could be one of the profiles that few expected to ever see in the FC Barcelona jersey.

According to FC Barcelona insiders, the club is in talks with Liverpool FC's Mohamed Salah for next season. The Egyptian player is Jurgen Klopp's great reference in attack, but the team wants him for 2024. That is, in a year's time, where the player would already have one year left on his contract and could leave at an even lower price. Thus, the arrival of the Egyptian at the Camp Nou Spotify is a possibility.

How much is FC Barcelona offering Liverpool?

According to Transfermarkt, Salah is worth €70 million. However, when a footballer has few years left on his contract, his price tends to drop due to the club's need to sell him. Therefore, the culé club plans to put €40 million for the summer of 2024 and with that, convince Liverpool. The contract offered to the Egyptian would be for 3 years.
