Messi only wanted one Liverpool striker at Barca – it’s not Salah

Barcelona have been linked to Mohamed Salah this summer, but the Liverpool striker Lionel Messi advised Barca to sign was Sadio Mane, as per Cadena SER.

Barcelona tried to grant Messi’s wish by meeting with Mane’s agents, but the deal hit the rocks because of the money involved.

Like Salah, Mane’s contract will also end in 2023. The question is, which of the pair will Barcelona go after this summer?
