Chelsea keen to use Salah in a deal for Griezmann

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has his own plan for the summer, including using Egyptian international Mohamed Salah in a deal to bring Antoine Griezmann to Stamford Bridge.

Offers have been made across the board for Salah. However, Fiorentina’s bid of €1.8 million a year in wages alone, is nothing compared to what Wolfsburg and Inter Milan have presented for the Egyptian.

The Italian media outlet suggested that the Premier League champions made a €50 million bid for Griezmann, but Atletico Madrid turned it down, as they look to hold on to their star.

Gazzetta also added that Juventus are keeping a close eye on Salah and Juan Curadrado’s situation at Chelsea, and a bid could come at any time if the Serie A champions feel it’s relevant.

Despite Salah’s highly impressive performances during his loan spell at Fiorentina, Mourinho is still showing clear indications of his intent to sell the former Basel winger.
