According to a recent report from Spanish outlet Fichajes, Mohamed Salah would be willing to leave the Merseyside club in the summer should the Reds fail to qualify for the Champions League.
Liverpool are currently 6th in the Premier League and six points off 4th place Tottenham.
According to the report, one of the clubs that would be interested in signing the Egyptian is PSG, and the French champions are said to be willing to pay €80m for his services.
Now though, Jonathan Johnson has explained why a Salah to PSG transfer is unlikely:
“Despite rumours to the contrary, I don’t think Mohamed Salah going to PSG this summer is doable,” Johnson said.
“The issue PSG have is that would have to sacrifice a big name to fund the deal, and I think we can rule Kylian Mbappe out of that equation – he is PSG’s undoubted star man.
“There’s obviously the issue of Lionel Messi’s contract, and they’ve got Milan Skriniar coming in in the summer, so to add another high earner like Salah, plus the potential transfer fee which would have to be paid to Liverpool, would probably be impossible for PSG.
“The other thing to say about PSG as well, when it comes to potential transfer dealings, is that they’re being overseen by Luis Campos. And he was really brought in to help PSG identify talents who are yet to fully explode on the world football scene, so I think it’s more likely he’ll be looking at someone who is currently at a slightly lower level than Salah, but with the potential to get to where Salah is now.”
