Liverpool dead locked with Roma over Salah.

An agreement inclusive of add-ons is close to being concluded following ongoing discussions between the clubs over the dynamic 25-year-old
Liverpool are tying up negotiations with Roma over a deal for Mohamed Salah as the player waits for permission to undergo a medical, which could happen this week.

The Serie A side were pushing for a fee in excess of £40 million, while the Reds had an opening offer of £28m rebuffed, but a compromise is close to being finalised following lengthy talks.

The agreement is understood to be over £35m inclusive of add-ons, with the Egypt international – who has already settled on personal terms.

The Egyptian’s spell at Stamford Bridge was unsuccessful before going out on loan to Fiorentina and Roma, the latter making the transfer permanent in August 2016.

Salah contributed 19 goals plus 12 assists across all competitions for the Giallorossi last season.
