Mohamed Salah tells Messi he wants to join Barcelona

Mohamed Salah celebrates after scoring for Liverpool

Mohamed Salah was surprisingly linked with an exit last week and even though those rumours seem to have blown over, the latest revelation in the Spanish media will send shivers down the spine of Liverpool supporters.

It is being claimed in the Spanish media that Mohamed Salah has told Lionel Messi that he wants to play with him at Barcelona. Salah is growing increasingly frustrated at the lack of trophies at Liverpool. Though they are technically still in the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League, they face the mammoth task of upending a 3 goal advantage that Barcelona possess by virtue of their exploits in the first leg.

Barcelona are looking for more attacking options as Ousmane Dembele continues to impress only sporadically. Salah wants to fill the gap and believes that the move will give him the right kind of boost to his career.
