Wolfsburg will look to sign Chelsea outcast Mohamed Salah should Kevin de Bruyne have a change of heart and leave them this summer.

Salah has thrived at Fiorentina since departing Chelsea — where he made just six League starts in 12 months — on loan in January.

The Egypt international has scored six goals in Serie A and Fiorentina are already looking to exercise an option to sign him on loan next season, too.

As part of their agreement with Chelsea, they will then be able to buy him permanently for £14million in 2016 but Wolfsburg may still beat them to his signature.

As Standard Sport revealed last week, former Chelsea midfielder De Bruyne is a target for Manchester City and Paris St Germain. It is believed the Belgium international wants to stay at least one more season with Wolfsburg, however now Bayern Munich have joined the hunt and are prepared to pay £35m for him.

It is more likely the 23-year-old will be prepared to move on the following year but Wolfsburg will make a bid for Salah then, too, if he maintains his form.

The Bundesliga side have the funds to outspend Fiorentina having paid a combined £45m for Chelsea’s unwanted duo De Bruyne and Andre Schurrle in 2014 and 2015 respectively.
