Fiorentina wanted to extend Salah's stint at Stadio Artemio Franchi, already submitting a €1 million fee before the July 1st deadline to extend his loan period for the next season via the Telergaph. However, Salah stressed he's open to play for any teams who wants him, despite Chelse's stance on keeping him unless a suitor is willing to match €25 million transfer fee for the young winger. Offering an offer below their asking price will be rejected immediately, as Chelsea would rather want Salah to develop with Fiorentina as on loan player.

Boasting a roster full of talents, Chelsea FC would have a hard time giving Salah the minutes he's asking for. He will likely end up on the bench for the rest of the season if no team would try to snag him for the remainder summer transfer window.

On the other hand, his future with Fiorentina has become doubtful following the firing Vincenzo Montella due to of some issues with the team. According to sources, Salah has a great deal of respect with Montella and playing for another coach in Fiorentina seems not appealing to him.

However, after seeing what Salah could do throughout the 2014-15 season, several Serie A teams are already lining up for the Egyptian winger's service. AC Milan, Internazionale Milano and Roma are some of the Italian ballclubs willing to spend money for the talented footballer, according to Mirror.co.uk.

On the other hand, Chelsea's Premier League rival Tottenham Hotspur and Spanish La Liga side Atletico De Madrid are also being linked as potential suitors for the Egyptian.
