Mohamed Salah's agent has confirmed that Fiorentina cannot block the Chelsea winger's loan move to AS Roma.

Salah has been involved in a transfer controversy involving both Serie A clubs after spending the second part of last season on loan with La Viola.

As part of the deal which saw Chelsea send him to Florence, Fiorentina believed they had the option to buy him, or in case he refused the switch permanently, at least loan him again until next January.

But the Egypt international has instead forced his way to join Roma.

Ramy Abbas, his agent, confirms that the transfer should go through soon.

"Mohamed does not need any approval from Fiorentina," Abbas tweeted.

"The last day of his contract with Fiorentina was June 30, 2015 and they [Fiorentina] always knew it.

"We also do not need any 'amicable agreements' between Fiorentina and anyone.

"Any good news will come from Switzerland, not from London.

"For many reasons, neither I nor Salah can speak publicly in detail about what actually happened, but we will do so very soon.

"The comments that Mohamed will be suspended for six months are downright ridiculous."
