You see Mo Salah coming down that wing in full flight and defenders must be terrified.

Chelsea having De Bruyne and Salah at the same time only for both to come back to the Premier League and thrive is certainly fun to think about. Just like them trying to sign back Declan Rice after having him as a youth player.
Roma weren’t in a great financial position then, and were basically taking profit where they could get it. So making ~30M profit on a winger after a season while Dzeko was breaking club scoring records was necessary business for them at the time.
