  • Juventus and Napoli enter race for Chelsea winger
  • Felix Nmecha linked with Chelsea move


  • The Egypt international has evolved into a top-class footballer during his time in the Serie A, and this has brought him back on the radar of former admirers Liverpool.

    Former Reds boss Brendan Rodgers had tried to recruit Salah from Basel in January 2014, but they were outbid by Chelsea in order to acquire his signature.

    Salah had therein admitted that he wanted to join Liverpool in the first place but the Merseyside outfit were not willing to match Basel's &pound11m valuation.

    The attacker has since moved onto the Serie A with the Giallorossi after a loan stint with Fiorentina, and he is now a huge favourite at the Stadio Olimpico.

    Jurgen Klopp's side failed with a &pound28m approach for Salah earlier last week, but it appears that they are now on course to sign him after having placed a renewed &pound35m offer, The Mirror claims.

    Salah bagged 15 goals and 11 assists for Roma last term as they finished four points adrift of eventual champions Juventus.
