Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi has identified Liverpool\u2019s left-footed winger, Mohamed Salah, as his replacement at Nou Camp.<\/p>\n

According to Sportskeeda, Messi, who will be 32 next month, has told the club\u2019s board to sign the Egyptian international this summer\u2019s transfer window.<\/p>\n

The report claimed that the Argentine international wants Salah to become his successor at the Catalan club once he eventually retires from the Blaugrana.<\/p>\n

The report also claimed that Barcelona will have to break the bank to sign Salah as Liverpool will demand in excess of \u20ac220million from the La Liga champions for their star player.<\/p>\n

Salah has been phenomenal for Jurgen Klopp\u2019s side since he joined the club from AS Roma in 2016.<\/p>\n

The forward lead the Reds to this season\u2019s UEFA Champions League final where they will tackle Tottenham Hotspur on June 1 in Madrid.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old also scored 22 English Premier League goals this season and won the Golden Boot for the league highest goal scorer alongside fellow teammate, Sadio Mane and Arsenal striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
