Livepool close to sealing Salah switch

The former Chelsea man has allegedly been given permission to travel to England for a medical. With the 25-year-old's fee set to top the £35million paid for Andy Carroll in 2011 according to 'The Daily Mail'.

Liverpool made the flying flanker a priority target as soon as the season ended and talks have been ongoing with Roma for some time, with an initial offer of £28million rejected at the start of June. But the two parties are said to be close to a compromise.

'The Daily Mail' also reports that the Egyptian turned down Liverpool in favour of joining Chelsea in 2014, but the Merseysiders look set to finally get their man after promising to double his wages to £90,000 per week.

Salah scored 19 goals and provided 15 assists in 41 games in all competitions last season for Roma, who signed him from Chelsea for just £13 million a season ago.
