Former Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o has urged Liverpool star Mohamed Salah to join the Spanish giants.

The Cameroonian – who hit 130 goals for Blaugrana during a trophy-laden five seasons – insists that Salah must test himself in what he believes is the best league in the world.

Eto’o feels Barcelona’s style of play suits the Egyptian and if he has a chance to join the Catalan club over fellow La Liga heavyweights Real Madrid, he should not hesitate.

“Barcelona would be a better fit,” the 38-year-old – who started his career in Europe with Real’s academy – said as reported by the BBC .

“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.”
