Read our privacy policy Jose Mourinho has washed his hands of Mohamed Salah’s controversial departure from Chelsea and claims that he deserves credit for bringing the Egyptian to Stamford Bridge in the first place. Salah joined Chelsea from Swiss side FC Basel as a 21-year-old in January 2014 but made just 19 appearances – scoring two goals – in two-and-a-half years with the Blues. Salah has gone on to become one of the Premier League’s greatest-ever players and it is an ongoing source of frustration for many Chelsea fans that he slipped through their fingers – in a not dissimilar manner to another future legend, Kevin de Bruyne. Yet in an exclusive interview with The Obi One podcast – hosted by ex-Chelsea star John Obi Mikel – Mourinho has insisted that Salah’s exit had nothing to do with him but that signing him for the Blues in the first place was solely his doing.
