Fiorentina confirm they are in talks with Chelsea to �amicably� resolve the Mohamed Salah saga, possibly with a player exchange.
The Egyptian international arrived in January as part of the Juan Cuadrado move with an option to extend the loan by a year for �1m.
Salah then refused to obey the agreement, claiming he had a private right of veto, but that paperwork was never part of the original contract.
�The rapport between Fiorentina and Chelsea is excellent,� director general Andrea Rogg told reporters today.
�There has been some contact between clubs. Our position is open to a solution, without forgetting that we have more than one reason to feel we are right about this.
�We want to emerge from this situation in an amicable manner. Chelsea have many interesting players and this could be the route we go down.�
It had been reported this week that Fiorentina would request England Under-21 international midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek on loan instead.
