Roma Interested in Re-Signing Mohamed Salah Next Summer: Paper Talk
Sky Sports Football News – Transfer rumors highlight AS Roma's interest in bringing back Liverpool's star forward Mohamed Salah, their former player from 2015-2017.
According to La Repubblica, Roma are considering a summer move for the 33-year-old Egyptian international, aiming to reunite with Mohamed Salah at the Olimpico. However, a January transfer is unlikely due to Roma's filled non-EU squad spots and the massive financial hurdle of Salah's €24 million annual salary (around £20 million), which would require covering nearly €12 million for a six-month loan alone.
Tensions between Salah and Liverpool manager Arne Slot have escalated recently. The forward, who signed a contract extension until 2027 last spring, publicly complained in early December 2025 about being benched in several matches, accusing unnamed parties of scapegoating him and damaging his reputation. Liverpool is reportedly open to loan offers in January amid the strained relations, but Roma views a summer deal as more realistic.
Interest from the Saudi Pro League has cooled for now, with no January approaches expected, per iNews. Salah remains a key figure at Anfield, but his future is uncertain as clubs like Roma dream of a sensational return.
The article also touches on broader paper talk: Real Madrid restarting contract talks with Vinicius Jr., Chelsea eyeing Genk's Konstantinos Karetsas, and Bristol City set to profit £11m from Antoine Semenyo's potential £65m move to Manchester City. EFL notes link Josh O'Shea and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to Oxford United.
In this bustling transfer rumor mill on January 1, 2026, Salah's saga dominates headlines, blending nostalgia for Roma fans with Liverpool's internal drama.
