Egypt winger Mohamed Salah has revealed that he wants to make an impact with Fiorentina and that he has no plans of returning to Chelsea any time soon. "At the moment I don't intend to return to Chelsea," he told reporters on Friday, after being officially unveiled by Fiorentina at a press conference. "I want to do well with Fiorentina. I spoke with Mourinho and told him I wanted to leave Chelsea and he was fine." The 22-year-old international joined the Viola from the London outfit on the transfer deadline day, on a six-month loan deal with an option of making the move permanent in June. During his 12-month spell at Chelsea, Salah failed to break though Mourinho's lineup and featured in only 18 games, mostly as a substitute in all competitions. The Chelsea boss had Salah ranked fifth behind Eden Hazard, Willian, Oscar and Cesc Fabgregas, and his playing chances at Stamford Bridge became even slimmer with the arrival of Colombian winger Juan Cuadrado from Fiorentina. The former FC Basel player, who won the 2013 Switzerland player of the year, is seeking regular football and he has reportedly negotiated a clause in his contract related to his appearances at the Viola. "The Italian League is of a high standard, I think that those such as Cuadrado do it simply to broaden their horizons and have new experiences," said Salah. "Cuadrado is a great player, I respect him a lot. I know he was well-loved in Florence, and I hope that I too can soon win a place in the fans' hearts." Fiorentina have added Salah to their Europa League squad, and he could be making his debut in the Serie A very soon.
