6 of the biggest transfer mistakes made by Jose Mourinho in England

#1 Mohamed Salah

He did not get his chance at Chelsea

Salah signed for Liverpool at an initial transfer fee of £37.80 million from AS Roma in 2017 and he took the Premier League with a storm. He even won the PFA and PWA Player of the year awards with Liverpool.

In fact, his displays were so good for Liverpool that there were even mute voices coming from all around the world to award him the coveted Ballon d'Or award for the best player of the year.

Though the only regret Chelsea fans have is that he could have achieved all this for Chelsea. Just like Kevin de Bruyne and Romelu Lukaku, Salah was another one of the players with whom Mourinho missed the mark and created a cloud of doubt over his abilities to identify and prosper real talent.

Chelsea and Jose Mourinho had high hopes for the Egyptian dynamo Salah when he joined from Swiss side Basel for a fee worth £16m in January 2014. "He's young, he's fast, he's creative, he's enthusiastic," said Mourinho at the time. "We analysed him and he looks the kind of humble personality on the pitch, ready to work for the team and to work and to adapt himself to a new life.

Chelsea and Mourinho, who already had a few wingers in the form of Eden Hazard, Willian, Oscar and Andre Schurrle could not provide Salah with the kind of opportunities he needed to establish himself and loaned him just a year later to Fiorentina in favour of Juan Cuadrado.

This proved to be a huge mistake as Salah returned to the Premier League scored 32 goals for Liverpool.

Mourinho though has groomed many players under his abled eyes but his recent failures in recognizing the real talent are something which is probably proving to be one of the reason why is he struggling in the more recent seasons of the Premier League.
