Roma want to conclude a deal for Chelsea winger Mohamed Salah within the next 48 hours or will turn their attention towards FC Dnipro’s Yevhen Konoplyanka.
Roma and Chelsea have been locked in furious negotiations over the last few days for Salah and the Blues have already rejected a bid from the Giallorossi.
The Italian club's sporting director Walter Sabatini met Chelsea officials last night to hold a fresh round of talks and is hoping to finally reach an agreement.
Roma know that Salah is also attracting interest from Besiktas, Atletico Madrid and Monaco and though the player has agreed personal terms with the Italians, according to Il Messaggero, they want a deal to be agreed in the next 48 hours.
The Giallorossi are in a hurry to conclude negotiations over Salah and are ready to look somewhere else if Chelsea continue to play hardball over the winger.
