Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah admits he'd welcome former AS Roma teammate Daniele de Rossi to Anfield.

De Rossi, who turns 36 in July, bid an emotional farewell to home city club Roma – the team with whom he has spent his entire career to date – in Sunday's 2-1 home victory over Parma at the Stadio Olimpico.

Salah, who played alongside De Rossi at Roma between 2015-17 before his move to Anfield, has declared that he love to line up alongside his old pal again.

The Egyptian international told Sky Italia's Gianluca Di Marzio: “He is a legend of the club and of Italian football, not just because he is a great friend of mine.

“A future for him in the Premier League? It would be beautiful, but I don't know if it's possible. It would be pleasing for me to play with him again, he is an optimal player."
