That uncertainty leaves the door ajar for a sensational Premier League switch – something that would delight Chelsea legend Didier Drogba.Back in 2021, Salah was locked in a lengthy contract stand-off with Liverpool before eventually putting pen-to-paper on a new deal worth more than £350,000 a week, making him the highest-paid player in the club’s history. Before that extension was signed, Drogba urged his former club to make a sensational move to lure the winger back to Stamford Bridge.Drogba told Al-Axis TV: “If I am selfish, I will tell Salah to leave Liverpool and return to Chelsea.

This is his decision alone and his future, but wherever he goes, I will be one of his fans.”Salah first joined Chelsea from Swiss side Basel in January 2014 in a deal worth around £11million. But his spell in west London never truly got going, with the ‘Egyptian King’ making just 13 Premier League appearances before loan moves to Fiorentina and Roma.The Italian club signed him permanently in 2016, paving the way for his £34m move to Liverpool a year later.Join our LFC WhatsApp community and get all the latest LFC news, views, transfer gossip and more, as it happens We also treat our community members to special offers, promotions, and adverts from us and our partners.
