Sjaak Swart is the player who has worn the Ajax elastic more times and a Dutch football legend from the 80s. But, Furthermore, he is a good friend of Ronald Koeman, new coach of Barcelona. Therefore, his statements regarding the wishes of his compatriot cannot fall on deaf ears. Swart has thrown a bombshell that Liverpool fans won't like: “Koeman loves him and Salah would like to play for Barcelona”. This is how emphatically the exajacied in statements to Voetbazone.

When asked about the provenance of his statement, he did not want to reveal its source, but he was not sure of what it said: “I can't, I'm not going to go into details. But believe me I know.” Already It is not surprising that Koeman has a fondness for a player of Mo's stature. Salah, if not, what the attacker himself was willing to leave the team that has made a niche for him in the world elite.
The Egyptian was a promising player who failed to succeed in his first Premier league adventure with Chelsea at 21. His departure to Italy, Fiorentina, first, and Rome, later, made him the object of Liverpool's desire. But it was not until his landing at Anfield that he finally emerged as one of the most fearsome scorers in recent years. 97 in the 154 games he has played since he donned the 'red' jacket in 2017 attest to this. Now, 28 years old and after winning everything in Merseyside, Mo would be willing to start a new adventure in Can Barça. At least, according to Swart.
