Transfer Rumors: Salah Receives New Liverpool Exit Offer; Barcelona’s Haaland Plan

Liverpool are prepared to sanction the departure of Mohamed Salah at the conclusion of the current campaign, with the Egypt captain entering the final year of his contract, according to Football Insider. The development has alerted a fresh Saudi Arabian suitor, as Al Qadsiah—managed by former Reds boss Brendan Rodgers—prepare to join the race alongside long-standing admirers Al Ittihad, winwin reports.

The 32-year-old winger has been a cornerstone of Liverpool’s attack since arriving from Roma in 2017, but Fenway Sports Group now appear open to cashing in rather than risking a free-transfer exit in 2026. Al Ittihad’s previous pursuit failed to materialize into a concrete bid, yet their continued interest, coupled with Al Qadsiah’s emergence, signals a potential summer auction for Salah’s signature.

Meanwhile, Barcelona have set their sights on Manchester City striker Erling Haaland as the next marquee addition to the Spotify Camp Nou, per E-Notícies. Manager Hansi Flick has identified the Norwegian international as the solution to the club’s goal-scoring woes, shelving tentative inquiries for Atlético Madrid’s Julián Alvarez. The Catalans’ pursuit of Haaland is expected to test the league’s financial fair-play limits, but sporting director Deco believes the 24-year-old’s marketability and prolific record justify the outlay.

In related news, Atlético are ready to move on from Alvarez and have turned their attention to Galatasaray’s Victor Osimhen, with Diego Simeone personally lobbying for the Nigeria center-forward, Fichajes adds.

Elsewhere, Napoli’s Scott McTominay is eager for a Premier League return, placing Manchester United in pole position to re-acquire the Scotland midfielder, Tuttomercatoweb notes. Chelsea have dismissed speculation linking Pedro Neto with Atlético, while Arsenal and Chelsea are monitoring Nottingham Forest’s Omari Hutchinson, who is also on Newcastle’s radar.

Other movers include Manchester City goalkeeper James Trafford, who is weighing offers from Newcastle and West Ham, and Toulouse defender Charlie Cresswell, valued at €30 million and tracked by half the Premier League. Real Madrid are poised to activate the €12 million release clause for 16-year-old Hertha BSC prodigy Kennet Eichhorn, and Barcelona face a €60 million hurdle in their pursuit of Sporting CP’s Gonçalo Inácio.

As the summer window looms, Europe’s giants are already positioning themselves for what promises to be a high-stakes transfer carousel.
