Mohamed Salah to PSG Rumor Takes a Twist Amid Liverpool Contract Talks | OneFootball

On Sunday, L’Equipe reported that PSG and Mohamed Salah’s representatives have been in contact for some time, with Salah now seemingly more open to a potential move. This shift has sparked talk of a possible transfer to Paris.

Despite the rumor, PSG have denied these claims. A club spokesperson told the French outlet, “It’s not true.” The report also suggests that Salah could be using the rumors as leverage to push Liverpool into meeting his contract demands.

According to a recent report from Football Insider, Salah is pushing for a lucrative contract extension that would keep him at Liverpool until 2027. At 32, the Egyptian forward has solidified his status as a club legend with an exceptional goal-scoring record and reportedly hopes for “three more years” at Anfield.

Journalist Ben Jacobs reported on Monday, citing sources, that PSG aren’t in talks with Salah at the moment. While Salah shares a long-standing friendship with PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the French champions have yet to make any move. Jacobs also notes that Salah might leverage PSG’s name to increase pressure on Liverpool.

While appearing on talkSPORT, John Barnes weighed in on Salah’s contract extension saga and revealed Liverpool’s stance on the matter.

“Fans have to understand it’s a different time now because, of course, we would love people to stay,” Barnes told the English outlet. “We love Salah to stay, but it really depends on the negotiation. I don’t know what he wants, but if he wants a three-year contract, whatever it is, we know he won’t be improving.

“Of course, he may last for another year or two, but in the third year, maybe not. We don’t know. The club will do everything it can to keep all of them.”
