# Conte set to benefit from record-breaking Liverpool deal

**The Chelsea fans in the Football Transfer Tavern are always happy where there is a little bit of money to be made, and their delighted over the news that the club are set to benefit from a rival’s deal this summer.**

According to reports from [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/mohamed-salah-to-fly-to-england-as-liverpool-close-on-deal-bs67ft5cc), Premier League top four rivals Liverpool are set to seal a club-record £39m deal for former Chelsea man Mohamed Salah.

The Egyptian international made just 19 appearances during his time in London, however, upon leaving the club on a permanent basis last summer the Blues added a 10% sell-on clause for any profit made by Roma on the deal.

Salah was taken to the Italian capital for a fee of £12m, meaning that should the £39m deal go through the Serie A side would make a profit of £27m – landing the west Londoners a nice little £2.7m bonus.

Our landlord has pointed out that whilst that fee won’t go far in terms of transfer fees it could give them the room to improve contract offers this summer.

**Chelsea fans, we want to hear from you! How do you think Salah will get on back in the Premier League? Will it prove to be a mistake that he was let go? Let us know…**
