Barcelona are considering a shock swoop for Mohamed Salah on a free transfer this summer - with the Liverpool star's contract set to expire at the end of the season.
Salah is continuing to perform at the top level for the Reds and scored an excellent winner in their 2-1 win over Brighton on the weekend, though speculation suggesting he will end his seven-year spell at Anfield persists.
The Egyptian has not dispelled those rumours and previously claimed it could be his "last season" with Liverpool, before adding further fuel to the fire after their win over the Seagulls.
He posted a picture of his celebration in front of the fans and wrote: "Thank you for your support last night. No matter what happens, I will never forget what scoring at Anfield feels like."
Now Spanish outlet Sport claim Barcelona have added Salah to their shortlist of targets for next season - but say that he is a back-up option behind Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams.
Williams is in huge demand after his superb season with Bilbao last season - coupled with a superb Euro 2024 with Spain in the summer.
At 22 Williams also represents a look to the future, while Salah will turn 33 next season - though the forward looks far from finished as an elite player.
He has nine goals from 15 appearances in all competitions this season and fired in 25 in the last campaign for Liverpool - bringing together a total of 220 strikes in 364 outings.
When asked about Salah's comments on his future and social media posts, Arne Slot was unmoved - saying it only mattered what the player said to him in person.
"You interpret (the post) in a way maybe other people don't," he said. "I don't look at Instagram posts from my players, I only talk to them, which is the advantage I have.
"Mo is in a very good place at the moment, as long as he has been at Liverpool he has been in a good place. I am hoping he will post one after tomorrow and Saturday again. It is important how he plays and what he says in conversations and not how you guys interpret his posts."
