FC Barcelona: Koeman wants Salah

Ronald Koeman continues to shape his squad for the 2020-21 season. The Dutch coach would have set his sights on Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah, ahead of Sadio Mané. According to the former Ajax player Sjaak Swart, a friend of the Barça coach, on the website voetbalzone.nl Koeman is very interested in taking over the Egyptian: “I know that Koeman loves him and I know that Salah would love to go.” the wish of the new Barcelona coach is to sign Salah and not Sadio Mané. Koeman does not have Luis Suárez and is looking for a replacement of guarantees that will make a difference in attack, to be able to return to the top both in the League and in Europe. Lautaro is a difficult option and the Egyptian is presented as a possibility, although Liverpool are not willing to get rid of their star. When asked by the aforementioned media for his source, Swart says: “I can not.” “I’m not going to give more details, but believe me I know,” he said in relation to Koeman’s interest in signing Salah who has started the season in a big way. The forward scored a hat-trick against Leeds in Jurgen Klopp’s Premier League debut, with Salah showing that he has returned to a high level by leading the champion’s victory over a newly promoted 4-3. Koeman wants him in his team to lead the attack along with Messi and Griezmann, although he is not the only Liverpool footballer who wants to fish. In recent days Wijnaldum has also been linked with the Barça team, however there is still nothing concrete . The truth is that Barcelona is more focused on sales than on reinforcements at the moment.After the departure of Rakitic, the next to leave will be Arturo Vidal and Luis Suárez who will head to Serie A (Inter and Juventus respectively) since the coach does not have them and left them out of the call against Nástic.
