Barcelona define Salah as ‘plan B’ if they fail to sign Haaland

Barcelona already have a “plan B” if they are unable to sign Borussia Dortmund star Erling Haaland. It is the highlight of Liverpool, Mohamed Salah, according to information from the Sports world.

Aiming at the difficulties involved in negotiating the Norwegian, the Spanish club started to work with other alternatives in the market. At the moment, according to the newspaper, Manchester City is emerging as the favorite to count on Haaland’s services. Real Madrid are also trying to convince the player to team up with Frenchman Kylian Mbappé.

In addition to the competition, Barça estimates the cost of the operation at 250 million euros (about R$ 1.4 billion reais), a value considered high for the financial health of the team.

Despite being an idol at Anfield, Salah will have the end of his contract with the Reds after the end of the next season and the renewal is at a standstill at the moment, which increases the chances of the culés in the business.

Although the striker is focused on ending the current season at Liverpool, in addition to a desire to remain in the team, a change of scenery is not entirely ruled out. Currently, the Egyptian earns 12 million euros a year (R$ 68 million) and intends to sign the last major contract of his career.

Liverpool, in turn, want to give the idol the status of the highest paid player in the club’s history, however, they would not like to break the salary hierarchy, led by defender Van Dijk.

Barcelona understand the complexity of negotiation. So that it is possible to sign the transfer, the Spaniards intend to get rid of some athletes with high salaries at the club, such as the Brazilian Philippe Coutinho, Dembélé, Sergi Roberto, Umtiti, Neto and Braithwaite.

In addition, Barça expects to receive an amount from new sponsorships, which should be signed in the coming months. This Tuesday, the team has already announced a partnership with the streaming of music, Spotifyfor four years.
