Mohamed Salah, Edin Dzeko ‘to agree permanent moves to Roma’
“These players were first signed on a temporary basis, which has been transformed into definitive transfers after planned contractual conditions were met”, read a Roma statement, which also revealed a permanent deal for Genoa winger Iago Falque.
Salah made the switch from Basle to Chelsea after coming to the attention of the Stamford Bridge club with a few mesmerising displays in European competition.
The Egyptian midfielder has taken well to his new surroundings at the Olympic Stadium, scoring three goals in his first six La Liga matches for La Maggica, per WhoScored.
Mohamed Salah and Edin Dzeko will reportedly make their moves to Roma permanent after a clause was triggered in their loan contracts. “I can only promise one thing and that is that I will give my best for this club in every game”.
Salah and Dzeko joined Roma from Chelsea and Manchester City respectively over the summer, initially on loan deals.
Fiorentina called in lawyers after Salah allegedly broke his agreement with the Serie A club, rejecting to move on a permanent deal or extend his loan until December.
The deal for Salah is expected to be in the region of £16million, meaning that Chelsea would earn a profit of around £5million on the former Basel man, despite hardly playing for the Blues.
The Bosnian’s transfer brings an end to his four and a half year association with City, with whom he won two Premier League titles, one FA Cup and a League Cup.
