Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah is on Chelsea’s shortlist ahead of the summer transfer window.
Whilst the latter pair have been tipped for a move to Chelsea in recent weeks, Thomas Tuchel’s ‘transfer decision’ to include Salah on his shortlist will come as a surprise to many.
After all, the 28-year-old plays for a rival club and it seems unlikely that Liverpool would want to do business with a potential competitor for the Premier League title next season.
Not to mention strengthening Chelsea and harming their own chances of reclaiming the Premier League crown.
With that said, Salah was on the books at Stamford Bridge between 2014 and 2016, but made just 19 appearances before rebuilding his career in Serie A with Fiorentina and Roma.

As a result, it is safe to say he has achieved what he set out to do – prove Chelsea wrong
I know from the first day I wanted to do something different, something special,” he said in 2018. “I was here with Chelsea, didn’t get my chance, and then came back. I wanted to show everyone my football.
“I didn’t play. You can see by the numbers. I didn’t have my chance, but you can see when I did get my chance I proved some people wrong.”
Such comments would suggest that Salah has used his Chelsea experience as motivation to reach the next level rather than put himself in the shop window for a potential return.
