Fiorentina lodges complaint to FIFA over Mohammed Salah

Mohamed Salah joined Roma on loan from Chelsea this summer
Fiorentina have lodged a complaint with FIFA over Mohamed Salah’s loan move from Chelsea to Roma.
The Serie A side say Chelsea and Salah, who joined the Premier League champions from Basle in January 2014, are in breach of contract after the Egypt international moved to Roma on a season-long loan this summer.
Salah spent the second half of last season on loan in Florence and it is understood Fiorentina believe the player should have either agreed to extend his loan until the New Year or sign for the club on a permanent basis.
"The matter is still pending and being investigated."
Chelsea declined to comment, but technical director Michael Emenalo has defended the club's loan policy after 33 players left on a temporary basis over the summer.
Salah made a temporary switch to Fiorentina in January
The Londoners have allowed Juan Cuadrado - bought from Fiorentina for £23.3m in January - to move to Juventus, while Victor Moses joined West Ham for the 2015-16 season shortly after signing a new four-year contract.
Nathaniel Chalobah and Marco van Ginkel are among the other senior players now playing at other clubs, at Napoli and Stoke City respectively.
"Sometimes the timing is not right for them," Emenalo told Chelsea TV. "For example we got Juan Cuadrado straight after a very difficult game at Spurs and we had to change our strategy for the rest of the season.
"That didn't suit the reason for which we had already gone to get him. So we felt it would be better for him to go and rediscover his confidence and he hasn't just gone to any other team... he's gone to Juventus.
"These players go to top clubs and when they get there they prove we don't recruit bad players, just like Salah did last season."
