# Liverpool: Reds react to Mohamed Salah claim

**Chelsea could try to bring Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah back to Stamford Bridge this summer in a sensational swoop, if Bild journalist [Christian Falk](https://twitter.com/cfbayern/status/1390657515487219714) is to be believed.**

Falk reports that Salah ‘is on the shortlist’ of Thomas Tuchel and Champions League finalists Chelsea ahead of the transfer window.

Chelsea paid [£14.85million](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohamed-salah/transfers/spieler/148455) to sign Salah from FC Basel in January 2014, but after just [19 appearances and two goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohamed-salah/leistungsdaten/spieler/148455), he was sold to AS Roma for a [£1million loss](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohamed-salah/transfers/spieler/148455).

Salah has apparently been identified as a possible target, alongside Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland another former Blue, Romelu Lukaku.

### Could Chelsea really be after Salah?

Chelsea may feel as if they need more firepower; [£45million signing](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/12009479/timo-werner-chelsea-complete-signing-of-rb-leipzig-forward) Timo Werner is their top scorer but he’s only managed [12 goals](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/chelsea/top-scorers) in all competitions.

Salah is about to enter the final two years of his contract and has said his future is [in Liverpool’s hands](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/jan/18/mohamed-salah-says-his-long-term-future-lies-in-the-hands-of-liverpool#:~:text=Asked%20about%20his%20future%20by,many%20trophies%20as%20I%20can.).

The Londoners have lured a Reds superstar to Stamford Bridge before let’s not forget – in 2011, they paid a then-record [£50million](https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/9380389.stm) to sign Fernando Torres.
