Mohamed Salah on World Soccer Mag Cover

Mohamed Salah featured on World Soccer Magazine Cover as World Top Future Stars.

In just seven games since joining Fiorentina as part of the deal which saw Colombian Juan Cuadrado move to Chelsea in January, Salah has now scored six goals. His current strike rate of a goal every 72 minutes represents a dream start in Italy, much better than stars like Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ukraine ace Andry Shevchenko, Argentine Diego Milito and Brazilian Ronaldo, to name but four.

Not only does Salah currently look like the sharpest striker in Serie A but his goals have also been of the “heavy” variety, respectively against Inter in Serie A, against Juventus in the Italian Cup and against Spurs in the Europa League. In the space of less than a month, his goals have put Fiorentina into the last 16 of the Europa League, put them back into the hunt for a Champions League place and given them a terrific opportunity to make their second consecutive Italian Cup final.

Not much wonder then that Fiorentina are now seriously thinking of holding onto a player who is currently “on loan” in Florence. With the payment of 1 million euros in June, Fiorentina can extend their loan deal with Chelsea for another 12 months. Come the summer of 2016, Fiorentina have to pay Chelsea 16-18 million euros to buy the player or send him back to Stamford Bridge.

In the meantime, the Cuadrado-Salah deal means that the Premier League club continues to pay Salah’s salary, a handy post-tax 1 million euros from January to the end of this season. You would have to think that Fiorentina got the better of this deal, no?
