Fiorentina have seen their complaint to FIFA rejected over Mohamed Salah’s transfer from Chelsea to Roma last summer.

The Viola had protested Salah was under contract with them, as they activated an option to extend his loan by another season, but the Egyptian winger refused to attend training.

He then returned to Chelsea, who completed a deal for him to join Roma on loan with mandatory option to buy.

"We can confirm that the dispute resolution chamber (DRC) dealt with the dispute opposing the Italian club, ACF Fiorentina, to the player, Mohamed Salah Ghaly, and the English club, Chelsea FC,” said a FIFA spokesman.

"The findings of the relevant decision, without grounds, have been communicated to the parties on June 8, 2016.

"The claim of the Italian club was rejected. Since the decision is not yet final and binding, we are not in a position to comment on it any further."

Fiorentina had wanted compensation for losing Salah’s extra loan spell, as his arrival was part of the deal taking Juan Guillermo Cuadrado to Chelsea in January 2014.
