Roma open talks to sign Chelsea flop

Roma have opened up talks to sign Chelsea winger Mohamed Salah on a permanent deal, Sky Sport Italia reports.

The Egyptian has struggled to feature in the first-team on a regular basis at Stamford Bridge since joining the club from FC Basel a year ago.

Recent reports had revealed that the talented winger could exit the club on a temporary basis in order to prove his credentials.

Sky Sport Italia claims that the 22-year-old is closing in on a loan move to Roma, with the option to make it a permanent one next summer for £11.5m.

Salah has made just three league appearances for the Blues this season.
