Mohamed Salah

Thanks Jason.

This is really disappointing since it sounds like we are locked in to the loan agreement for next season. We can only hope that Moh maintains his form and preserves his value through next season. Unless he further increases it of course. :)

It's crucial to note that it isn't a season and half long loan. He's loaned there till the end of this season with an option to extend the loan for another year and then an option to buy. If he doesn't want to go there next season there is nothing forcing him.

Fiorentina have triggered their option to extend Mohamed Salah’s loan from Chelsea into next season before buying him on a permanent basis.

Salah has scored seven goals since joining Fiorentina from Chelsea until the end of the season and the Italians have agreed to pay the £1.5 million fee it will take to keep the Egyptian next season. At the end of next season, Fiorentina can buy Salah for around £18m.

Thanks Choulo,

What is concerning me is the implication in the recent comments coming out of Fiorentina. Those comments make it sound like Fiorentina's options are watertight and that they can exercise them unilaterally. It sounds like they feel the extension of the loan is at their discretion, subject only to Moh's agreement, not Chelsea's.

Obviously I hope that we've negotiated some flexibility into the deal. For example, €1m never sounded like a good loan fee for next season but, based on Moh's start in Serie A, it now represents a considerable amount less than his market value. I don't mind if Moh stays at Fiorentina next season but, if he does, I'd like it to be at the right price.

Ideally I'd like us to be able to make Moh available for loan or sale across the whole market to achieve the best move for him, and the best compensation for ourselves. Fiorentina seem to think we've signed away that right.

£18m certainly sounds a lot closer to market value than €13m. A lot closer. Am I remembering correctly though that the original source for the €1m loan/€13m transfer figures was Fiorentina themselves? If so that would maybe make it more likely that the numbers are correct.

My understanding (from all I've read and most importantly from a very famous Lebanese beIN journalist in Italy who talks to Salah all the time and has disclosed the terms of the deal as Mo has told him) is that is exactly the case. If Fiorentina and Salah both agree the loan and then the transfer at the end of next season, there is very little our board can do.

Conflicting reports. I read they can sign him for £9.5m plus addons.

Check what Hussien Yassine wrote about the deal.

IRRC, it's 1.5m for the loan and then 18m for buying. All in Euros.

Although the final fee for Salah had been quoted as £9.5m, Chelsea insiders insist that is nowhere near the figure they are on course to get from Fiorentina.

Chelsea claim they will actually end up receiving around £18m in total for Salah, who they signed for £11m from Basel in January last year.

Hello everyone!

I have a question about Salah ...

We can recover Salah this summer or he is on loan at Fiorentina with the obligation to sign Salah definitely this summer?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

Hi Supporter,

I believe Fiorentina have the option of loaning Salah for next season and then they will have to purchase him at the end of next season for an agreed fee!

I believe the loan terms were that they could extend for another season. No idea if they can exercise their right to buy without our consent, though.

We could keep him if we really wanted to. We could give them another loanee/free transfer of on of our loanees too them in order to sweeten them up, but I can't see it being worth the hassle. Salah isn't THAT good, not the way we want him to play anyway. Unless we recognise him as a striker rather than a winger.

Thank you very much to both!

I think Salah is still young (22 years) and perhaps We may ask ourselves that he was a future option for us.

But I think that a new loan would be the best option for him. I even think that Fiorentina would not be the best option for him, I prefer to give Salah on loan to another Premier League team to check his Real performance in our league.

I am personally surprised by his performance with Fiorentina, but I doubt whether their performance in Premier League would be the same. So a loan to another Premier League team would give us the opportunity to check if we should or should not bet on Salah.

Although the more likely / logic would be that Fiorentina asked to extend the loan another year ...

Regards.
