Fiorentina could block Salah move

By Football Italia staff

Fiorentina director general Andrea Rogg threatens to block Mohamed Salah’s move to Roma as he ‘has a contract with Fiorentina’.

The Chelsea winger spent the second half of last season on loan with the Viola, as part of the deal which took Juan Cuadrado to London.

The Tuscan side had the option of renewing the loan, which they exercised, but the move was vetoed by the player himself.

Salah will arrive in Italy today ahead of his Giallorossi medical tomorrow, but could find himself in the middle of a legal battle.

“Our point of view has always been the same,” Rogg told assembled media.

“We believe the player has a contract with Fiorentina, and now we’ll find an adequate solution. Right now we’re primarily talking with Chelsea, not Roma.

“Clearly, until there’s a solution, he can’t play.

“Fiorentina has never said ‘Salah can’t be in Italy’, actually it’s like I just said, Roma could be an option, but I repeat, we’re mainly talking with Chelsea.”
