This morning, we conveyed the announcement that Mohamed Salah, initially expected at Liverpool, has now taken on the role at Chelsea. The English club has officially confirmed reaching an agreement with FC Basel (Switzerland) for the player’s transfer. His formal signing is contingent upon finalizing personal terms and successfully undergoing a medical examination.
Shortly thereafter, FC Basel shared the news on their official Twitter account. This marks the conclusion of a saga that had been ongoing since last summer. Having twice posed a challenge to Chelsea in the Champions League this season, Salah, hailed as the best Swiss player, is set to bring joy to Stamford Bridge supporters.
The transfer is valued at 10 million pounds for the 21-year-old Egyptian international, recognized as a fitting successor to Mohamed Aboutrika.
