Salah, who recently moved to Liverpool, made a temporary switch to Fiorentina during the second half of the 2014-15 season.
He then moved to Roma on loan before making a permanent switch last summer for around £11million.
But Fiorentina were furious that he had made the move from under their noses and alleged Chelsea had breached their contract with the Egyptian.
They complained to Fifa but the gripe was rejected in May 2016 and just over a year later CAS have also ruled in their favour.
A Blues spokesman said: “Chelsea’s position throughout this case was that Fiorentina had acted in bad faith in bringing a claim which was totally unfounded.
“We are pleased that the CAS Panel came to the same conclusion, with Fiorentina’s case rejected in full and costs awarded to Chelsea and the player.
