Roma: We will set Salah price

Roma’s sporting director has warned Liverpool that the Italian club will drive a hard bargain over a price for Egyptian international winger Mohamed Salah.

The Reds have already had a bid of £28m rejected for the 24-year-old but they remain in talks with the Serie A club.

However, sporting director Monchi says that, while Salah may be sold, Roma will not be forced to accept a price beneath their valuation.

“For Salah there is an offer from an English club but the price will be set by Roma, not the buyers,” said Monchi.

“As I’ve said before, Roma is not a supermarket. Roma is a team that will represent Italy in Europe.

“We came second in Serie A and our idea is to keep as good a team as possible.

“At the same time no club exists that does not sell players.”
