Chelsea will complete a deal for Mohamed Salah today, as the Egyptian winger is set to join Roma on a loan deal before making a permanent switch next summer.
Salah, who’s agent confirmed his arrival in Rome for Wednesday, is said to have agreed the deal with the Italian side at the weekend but Chelsea were negotiating the finer details of the agreement; with it now stated to be a £1.4m loan fee, ahead of a £16m transfer next summer.
Jose Mourinho has maintained that Salah is not a part of his plans at Stamford Bridge and used the Egyptian ace as makeweight in a deal to bring Juan Cuadrado to West London in January, with Salah spending time on-loan at Fiorentina.
He impressed in Florence, scoring nine goals, but has been involved in a bitter dispute this summer as he rejected a permanent move to Fiorentina- allegedly backtracking on a previous agreement, with the Italian side are planning to take to court.
ESPN state that the legal dispute could delay a deal but it’s still tipped to go ahead, with reports in Italian media stating he could feature in a friendly for his new side against Sevilla.
