It’s reported Mohamed Salah has asked for an increased salary to stay at Fiorentina for next season.
The Egyptian winger arrived in Florence as part of the deal which saw Juan Cuadrado move to Chelsea.
The Viola have already exercised their option to take Salah on loan for another season for €1m, but the former Basel man has the power to veto that option if he doesn’t want to stay.
It’s reported Mohamed Salah has asked for an increased salary to stay at Fiorentina for next season.
The Egyptian winger arrived in Florence as part of the deal which saw Juan Cuadrado move to Chelsea.
The Viola have already exercised their option to take Salah on loan for another season for €1m, but the former Basel man has the power to veto that option if he doesn’t want to stay.
Following a meeting today, Tuttomercatoweb reports that the 23-year-old is asking for a yearly salary of €3m to remain at Artemio Franchi.
That would represent a significant increase on the €2m he currently earns, which was initially paid by Chelsea as part of the Cuadrado deal.
The proposed salary would instantly make Salah the club’s second-highest earner, with Mario Gomez the best-paid player at the club on €4.25m per season.
There are a number of other clubs thought to be interested in the Egyptian international, and Tuttomercatoweb reports that Inter would be prepared to offer €2.5m per season.
