Dad: Salah much happier with Roma than Fiorentina

Mohamed Salah is happy with his lot at Roma.

The former Chelsea midfielder snubbed Fiorentina to join Roma last summer.

“Mohamed is certainly much happier at Roma than Fiorentina," his father Ghaly told La Gazzetta dello Sport< /i>.

“He is playing for a team that wants to win titles, all his teammates care for him, especially Radja Nainggolan and Francesco Totti.

“The Giallorossi want to win the Scudetto, there's a lot of competition and the rapport between Mohamed and Rudi Garcia is more than excellent.

“He was scared to go to Florence in January, as it was like a new world for him, but I told him it was just six months and it'd certainly be better than spending that time on the bench at Chelsea.

“It was the right decision, as Mohamed made an exceptional first impression in Italy. When he goes out, everyone crowds around to congratulate him. The Italians are a friendly people with characteristics similar to the Egyptians.

“Plus there are many Egyptians living in Italy, so Mohamed feels at home."
