Mohamed Salah linked with Juventus move as Roma bid intensifies

Mohamed Salah has been all over the rumor mill this week, with Juventus confirming they are in advanced talks for the Egyptian striker while Roma reportedly slipped a hefty bid into Liverpool's inbox. The 31‑year‑old, who netted 22 league goals last season, could be eyeing a new adventure in Italy while Liverpool fans brace for a possible exit.

Meanwhile, Roma's sporting director posted a cryptic tweet about “strengthening our attacking options this summer,” fuelling speculation that the Giallorossi see Salah as the missing piece to challenge Napoli for the Scudetto.
