Salah, 25, has been a top target for Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp this summer.

He has just enjoyed his best-ever season, scoring 19 goals in all competitions for Roma despite missing around six weeks through Egypt's run in the Africa Cup of Nations.

Salah was involved in four of Egypt’s five goals with two goals and two assists as he led the Pharaohs to the finals, where they lost 2-1 to Cameroon.

Salah joined Chelsea from Basel in January 2014 but was sent packing on loan to Fiorentina just a year later.

He controversially rejected a return there in favour of Roma in the summer of 2015, eventually making his move to the Italian capital permanent in 2016.

Liverpool saw a bid of £28million turned down earlier this month and were believed to be looking at Sporting Lisbon’s Gelson Martins instead.

But it seems Klopp has bagged his man, who will no doubt look forward to facing Manchester United when he can show Jose Mourinho he was maybe wrong to edge him out of Stamford Bridge.
