Fiorentina are eager to secure on-loan Chelsea attacker Mohamed Salah to a permanent deal as quickly as possible.

The Egypt international joined Fiorentina on-loan in January without a set fee nominated for a permanent transfer.

Corriere Fiorentino says Viola owner Andrea Della Valle hopes to buy Salah immediately, rather than extend his loan into a second season.

Salah has been a revelation for Fiorentina since his arrival and his form has attracted rival interest from Juventus and AS Roma.
