Ex Cameroonian international striker Samuel Eto’o has explained the reason why Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah would be a good fit for La Liga club Barcelona because of his playing style.
Ever since Mohamed Salah joined Liverpool back in the summer of 2017 from Italian club AS Roma for a transfer fee of £37 million, he has been tearing up the goalscoring record books at Anfield. The Egyptian winger has netted 71 goals for the Liverpool in 109 appearances and became the fastest in his history of the club to score 50 Premier League goals earlier this season.
Last term, Salah took Liverpool to the final of the Champions League but they fell short at the final hurdle after he was subbed off the pitch with a shoulder injury. However, this season, the 27-year-old lifted the continental trophy with the Merseyside club and aims to win several more trophies with Liverpool in the next few seasons.
With such impressive displays at Anfield, there is always transfer speculation floating around in the football world as rival European clubs are monitoring Salah’s situation at Liverpool. Salah has also been linked with a move to join Zinedine Zidane’s Real Madrid as the Los Blancos are looking to get back to their best but former Barcelona star Samuel Eto’o has advised Salah to join the Catalonian giants this summer to take his game to the next level.
While speaking to news outlet Squawka Football the 38 year old who currently plays his football for Qatar SC explained that fellow African, Salah would blend in well at Barcelona rather than Real Madrid because of the way he plays his football, “Barcelona would be a better fit. Real gave me the opportunity to leave Africa but I know Barcelona’s style and I think it would be better for him. If he has the chance to play in the best league in the world, which is the Spanish one, he has to sign for Barcelona. Mo has everything to be one of the best players in the world.”
