Roma chief Monchi confirms Mohamed Salah talks: Liverpool have bid for winger
Roma chief Monchi confirmed Mohamed Salah talks

The Egypt international has been heavily linked with a return to the Premier League.

Liverpool are said to be chasing the 24-year-old, with Jurgen Klopp an admirer of the winger.

The Daily Mail say the Reds have had a £28m bid rejected by the Serie A giants.

However, Roma want closer to £40m for the former Chelsea star, with talks still ongoing.

And Roma director of football Monchi has confirmed negotiations with a Premier League club, claiming the Serie A side are deciding their asking price.

"We don't intend to sell players and we want to give the boss a competitive squad," said Monchi.

"As to the two names mentioned, it's true that some people like them. An English club likes Salah, and we'll decide what price to set depending on the circumstances."

"There are no offers for Rudiger and there's no chance that he'll go."

"As I've said before, Roma is not a supermarket. We're starting from the second place we just achieved, and we'll fight for our goals."

"If someone leaves, he'll have to be replaced well. There are no open talks apart from Salah."

Salah scored 19 goals in all competitions this season for Roma under Luciano Spalletti.

Liverpool are expected to splash the cash this summer with Champions League football returning to Anfield next campaign.
