The agent who brough Mohamed Salah to Fiorentina turns on him, saying 'he lacked professionalism and respect'.

The Egyptian international's desire to leave Florence could result in a legal war between the player and his club.

Ulisse Savini, who was responsible for negotiating the deal with Chelsea, disassociated himself from the player and his current entourage in an interview with Radio Sportiva.

“I won't mingle my professionalism with the scant professional behaviour shown by the player's representative,” said Savini, presumably in reference to lawyer Ramy Abbas, who announced that Salah would be joining one of la Viola's competitors.

“Salah was supposed to have provided an answer by yesterday and he did that in the least professional manner possible, that is to say, by Twitter.

“I think it's clear that there's another club backing him, and I wonder who they are because they're going against Fiorentina too.

“The player's way of saying farewell to Florence is not transparent, he could simply have stated earlier that he didn't plan on staying.

“He should have shown greater respect to the supporters and to those who earn much less than he does.”
