According to a report via 90MIN, Salah is Laporta's preferred alternative if they cannot land Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund.

Talks have already been held between Barcelona and the Egyptian's entourage about a possible exit from Liverpool.

Salah is yet to agree to a new deal at Anfield despite his good form with Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp insisting it is up to the Egyptian to decide his future with the Reds.

Mohammed Salah ready to train ahead of Liverpool's trip to Arsenal

Meanwhile, Jurgen Klopp revealed some good news for Liverpool fans ahead of the Reds' crucial game against Arsenal on Wednesday, March 16.

Klopp disclosed Salah has shaken off the injury scare believed to have been sustained last weekend and is ready to return to full training with Liverpool Sky Sports reports.

Salah was substituted moments after scoring a second-half penalty in Liverpool's 2-0 win at Brighton on Saturday, March 12 with a foot problem.

Liverpool aim to be as annoying as possible in title race

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Liverpool are aiming to be as "annoying as possible" as they hunt down Manchester City at the top of the Premier League says Jurgen Klopp.

City's goalless draw at Crystal Palace on Monday means Klopp's side can close the gap to a single point with victory at in-form Arsenal on Wednesday, with a trip to the Etihad still to come.

In the 2018/19 season, Liverpool won their final nine league matches only for Pep Guardiola's team to reel off 14 successive victories to finish top by a point.
