Chelsea's Mohamed Salah can veto Fiorentina option - agent

Chelsea winger Mohamed Salah can overrule Fiorentina's option to extend his loan stay, his agent has said.

Salah, 22, joined Chelsea from Basel in January 2014 but, after struggling to make an impact, he was loaned to Fiorentina for the second half of last season.

The Egypt international enjoyed a revival with La Viola and they have an option to retain him for the 2015-16 campaign, but agent Ulisse Savini told Sportitalia that it will ultimately come down to Salah's decision.

"Fiorentina have the right to extend the loan for a year for €1 million, but the player has the right to veto that, so it all depends on what the player wants to do," Savini said. "He's with the national team at the moment but will decide when he returns."

Sources told ESPN FC last month that Tottenham were interested in signing Salah.
