Micah Richards has revealed Mohamed Salah spoke of his desire to sign for Liverpool during their time together at Fiorentina.
The pair spent the 2014/15 season together at the Serie A side after being loaned out in search of regular playing time. This proved to be a particularly beneficial experience for Salah in particular, who caught the eye of many clubs by scoring nine times in his 26 appearances.
Liverpool were already aware of the Egyptian prior to his temporary stay in Italy, having missed out on recruiting the 30-year-old during the January window of 2014 to Chelsea. The Reds would eventually get their man four years later, agreeing a deal with AS Roma to bring the forward to Anfield.
