​Roma's newly appointed sporting director Monchi has admitted that "an English club likes [Mohamed] Salah" but ruled out the possibility of selling defender Antonio Rudiger.





Both players have been linked with a Giallorossi exit this summer, with Salah the subject of a reported bid from Liverpool.





Monchi has confirmed that the duo have received interest from other clubs, but remained coy on the future of Salah in particular.

“We don’t intend to sell players and we want to give the boss a competitive squad,” he said - via ​Gianluca Di Marzio.





“As to the two names mentioned, it’s true that some people like them. An English club likes Salah, and we’ll decide what price to set depending on the circumstances.





“There are no offers for Rudiger and there’s no chance that he’ll go.





"As I've said before, Roma is not a supermarket. We're starting from the second place we just achieved, and we'll fight for our goals. If someone leaves, he'll have to be replaced well. There are no open talks apart from Salah."

Roma completed the signing of Mexican defender Hector Moreno from PSV on Tuesday, and Monchi has revealed that he is in the process of identifying future targets.





"My objective isn't to buy players you [the media] aren't talking about, but names we like," the former Sevilla director said.





"We work with the Coach and we already know what players the Coach wants, we know where to reinforce and we've shared some names. Some projects are in progress, but I don't think there will be surprises in the very short-term."
