Roma in pole for Salah?

By Football Italia staff

It’s reported Roma have moved ahead of Inter in the race to sign Chelsea winger Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian international opted not to return to Fiorentina for the upcoming season, with the Viola laying the blame at the door of the Nerazzurri.

However, following reports yesterday that sporting director Walter Sabatini was set to meet with Salah and his representatives in London, SportMediaset claims the Giallorossi are now in pole position for his signature.

It’s thought the Lupi would opt for a similar deal to Fiorentina, taking Salah on loan for this season, with an option to buy him outright at a set price.

The former Basel man appears certain to leave Stamford Bridge, having been omitted from the Blues pre-season tour of North America.
