Why Liverpool's signing of Roma star is bad news for Chelsea and Inter

Why Liverpool's signing of Roma star is bad news for Chelsea and Inter

The typical revolving door of players via summer transfers has officially begun. As one person steps into a new training ground for physio tests, another packs his bags for departure. This is the way of the world in football terms, and the top clubs are always looking to improve their squad without giving themselves any future financial burden. One such transfer directly affected by their finances involves Roma and their speedy Egyptian Mohammed Salah. The talented winger has already endured a fiasco of transfer confusion when his loan spell at Fiorentina ended, and Chelsea sold him to Roma.

The tables have shifted around this time, with Salah now looking to return to the Premier League, and his formers owners are likely frowning upon his sale. Roma are strongly considering Liverpool’s approach for their attacker, because they need to raise 30 million EUR before the end of June to meet FIFA financial fair play regulations. By offloading Salah, the Giallorossi would be more likely to hold on to other key players in their system such as Rudiger, Nainggolan, or Manolas. All three of whom have been linked to moves to Inter and Chelsea. Sadly for both clubs, should Roma manage to sell Salah for the right price, their chances of moving either of their prized defenders or the formidable Belgian. In the coming days and weeks, more news will materialise that will determine which players move where. But a transfer to Liverpool for Salah could mean Inter and Chelsea’s shopping list needs some altering.
