Neymar's Signing as a Media Draw for the Inauguration of the New Camp Nou Is Fading as Weeks Go By. Although his return was an option Joan Laporta had considered, the sporting and economic reality has led Barça to explore other alternatives.
Neymar himself, aware that his return to Barcelona is becoming increasingly difficult, has begun negotiations with Bayern Munich. The Bavarian club is interested in signing the Brazilian star, seeing him as a market opportunity if he can lower his salary demands.

Meanwhile, at FC Barcelona, Hansi Flick has never looked favorably on Neymar's return. For the German coach, the club needs to strengthen with a different profile. Someone who not only brings spectacle but also integrates perfectly into his playing system.

Barça Seeks Its New Star to Fill Camp Nou
At Can Barça, they are still looking for that world-class star to help fill the new Camp Nou. Financial stability is improving, and with the Champions League prizes and the return to the renovated stadium, a significant increase in revenue is expected.
With Neymar's signing becoming increasingly unlikely, a new name has emerged that does have Hansi Flick's blessing. Moreover, he has been offered to Barça in the last few hours.
He is a TOP footballer, with experience in the world elite and who could arrive free this summer. A new footballer has knocked on Barça's door.

The Star Flick Does Want
Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah's contract with Liverpool is ending. Although he has offers from Saudi Arabia, he wants to wait to see if Barça is willing to make an effort to sign him.
Salah's initial offer to the blaugranas is a three-season contract, with a signing bonus of 50M euros, prorated over those three years.
Salah fits the playing style Flick wants to implement. Fast, technical, and with a goal-scoring instinct, the Egyptian could bring experience and leadership to a team full of young talents.
Laporta and Deco Analyze
FC Barcelona has already had contacts with Salah's entourage in the past, but the operation could not be finalized due to a lack of financial margin. Now, with more economic stability, the signing is gaining momentum again.
The main obstacle is the salary he currently earns at Liverpool. Salah knows that at Barça, he couldn't receive the 45M euros annually offered in Saudi Arabia. However, he would be willing to accept about 15M per season if Barça guarantees him a competitive sports project.
Additionally, the Egyptian forward sets a condition to sign for Barça. He wants to ensure a key role in the team and guarantees that the club will not sign another top-level right winger.
While Bayern Munich advances in negotiations with Neymar, Barça seems to have another roadmap. Laporta and Deco believe that Salah is a safer bet, as his physical condition is much better than the Brazilian's.
If Barça takes the definitive step and makes a formal offer, Salah could become the major media signing of the summer and the star Hansi Flick truly wants.
