Fiorentina want Chelsea winger Mohamed Salah on a permanent deal according to reports.
Reports in Italy suggest that la Viola are preparing for life on a less temporary basis with the 22-year old Egypt international who arrived on a six-month loan deal in January.
The Florence outfit landed Salah as part of the deal that saw Juan Cuadrado join the Blues and he has starred since arriving at the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
Salah has netted six goals in 11 appearances in all competitions which has prompted Fiorentina to activate his £13million release clause at the end of the season.
