However, when Mourinho was quizzed about Salah’s future after a 1-0 loss to Fiorentina in their final pre-season friendly at Stamford Bridge, the Chelsea manager conceded that he was in the dark on Egyptian’s future.
“I have no idea [about his future],” Mourinho told his post-match media conference.
“I just know that Salah left Chelsea a few months ago to play on loan with Fiorentina.
“I was happy because he was playing every game and that’s the objective of a loan.”
Salah opted to join Chelsea ahead of Liverpool in an £11m deal in January 2014.
