Mohamed Salah's journey from humble beginnings in the small Egyptian village of Nagrig to becoming a global football icon is truly remarkable. Born into a modest family, he is given the name Mohamed Salah Hamed Ghaly. Even as a young boy, it was evident that football held a special place in his heart. From a young age, Salah dedicated himself to mastering the intricacies of the game. With great determination and countless hours of practice, he developed exceptional skills and an innate understanding of the sport. His passion for football became his driving force, pushing him to relentlessly pursue his dreams. At the age of 10, destiny intervened in the form of a school tournament. Salah was invited to participate, and it was at this event that scouts from the famous Cairo club “Arab Contractors” (also known as “Al Mokawloon”) noticed his immense talent. Realizing his potential, they wasted no time in offering him his first professional contract, marking the beginning of his professional football career.
Salah’s early days at Arab Contractors laid the foundations for what was to come. His skills blossomed further under their guidance and he quickly caught the eye of bigger clubs. His remarkable performances on the pitch caught the eye of Swiss club Basel, who eventually signed him in 2012. The move marked Salah’s entry into European football, and he made an instant impact. His electrifying pace, impeccable dribbling and clinical finishing ability turned heads across the continent. It wasn’t long before Premier League club Chelsea came calling for his services in 2014. Although his time at Chelsea was marked by limited opportunities, Salah’s unwavering determination and resilience saw him seek out new challenges.
At the age of 19, the young man joined the main squad of the team as a forward, and in 2010, he finished the year with his first goal against the opponents’ goal for « Al-Ahly. » Salah represented his country’s national team in 2011-2012. The team played a series of friendly matches, including against the Swiss team « Basel. » The Egyptians defeated their opponents with a score of 4:3. Mohammed’s impressive performance, scoring two goals against the Swiss team, led them to immediately acquire the talented football player by offering him a 4-year contract. In his very first match against the Romanian club « Steaua, » Salah scored a goal. The Swiss team thanked Mohammed for his immense contribution to their victory in the country’s championship in August 2012, as the young man participated in all the goals. His first goal, assisted by him, went straight into the net of « Lausanne. » Mohammed Salah’s goal statistics rapidly increased. The football player was constantly on the move, changing clubs frequently, and in 2014, he was already running on the field wearing the blue jersey of « Chelsea » – the English club purchased the athlete for 5.5 years. In the spring, he celebrated his first goal against « Arsenal. »
After 12 months, the player was loaned to the team « Fiorentina. » The fans of the Italian club rejoiced and were ready to idolize the newcomer for his achievement of defeating the esteemed « Internazionale » in a UEFA Europa League match, a feat that hadn’t been accomplished in 15 years. Salah stayed with the « Viola » for six months and then played for « Roma » in the summer, which had leased him with the right to a subsequent purchase. The young man gifted his new club his debut goal in a game against « Sassuolo. » Shortly after, he scored three goals against « Bologna » in a single match. Mohammed also made an international career for himself. The football player represented Egypt at the 2012 Olympic Games, although the team suffered defeat in the quarterfinals against the Japanese. However, before that, the young forward managed to score against four opponents. In the African Cup of Nations held in Gabon in 2017, Salah won a silver medal. In the summer of 2017, Mohammed changed clubs once again, moving from « Roma » to « Liverpool, » which spent €42 million on acquiring him. In his very first match against « Watford, » the Egyptian scored a goal. In the UEFA Champions League, he stood out with a series of important goals, including against « Spartak Moscow » and « Sevilla. » In the autumn, the football player secured his national team’s qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup by scoring a brace against the Congo.
In March, the forward matched Andrei Arshavin’s record by scoring four goals in a match against « Watford, » with each shot sent by Salah finding the opponent’s net. Shortly after, the Liverpool striker surpassed Fernando Torres’ record for the number of goals scored in his debut season for the « Reds » – 36. Thanks to these achievements, the athlete received a significant award – the Premier League Golden Boot. Mohammed’s sporting biography was adorned with another title. The agile and nimble football player (weighing 71 kg at a height of 175 cm) ousted Gabon’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Arsenal FC from the pedestal of the fastest player in FIFA 18 by showcasing a speed rating of 99 (the former leader’s rating was 98). In June 2018, the FIFA World Cup kicked off in Russia. Mohammed Salah was part of the Egyptian national team, which faced the hosts of the tournament on June 19. Russia won the match 3-1, with Salah scoring the only goal for Egypt from a penalty kick. During the 2020/2021 season, Mohammed continued to delight fans with new records. In the 33rd round of the Premier League match between « Liverpool » and « Newcastle United, » he scored his 20th goal of the season, becoming the first player in the club to achieve such a goal tally in three consecutive Premier League seasons.
In a recent interview, Mohammed told reporters that the most important thing in his life was his family. The African football star got married at the age of 21 to a woman named Magi Sadik, whom he had known since his early school days. They celebrated their wedding in their hometown, with the entire community gathered to celebrate the union of their idol. The ceremony followed Muslim traditions, as the athlete follows strict religious rules.
Even their daughter, born a year after their marriage, was named Makka after the pilgrimage center in Mecca. Salah displays his religious devotion even during matches, praising Allah after every goal. Their second daughter, Kayan, was born in 2020. Mohammed Salah is an open person and shares news about his personal and sports life on his Instagram page. Ahead of 2021, the athlete posted a photo on social media showing his wife and children dressed in Christmas party outfits.
In his homeland, the athlete is known as a kind-hearted man. Leaving behind a modest childhood, Mohammed now earns a weekly salary of £200, which allows him to live a lavish lifestyle and engage in charitable work. The player helps to improve the village where he grew up by building a school, creating a youth centre under his own patronage and setting up an indoor football pitch.
Loving couples are also grateful to the athlete. Salah financially supports the weddings of those who cannot afford to celebrate their union. He also provides financial assistance to a football fund for veterans. In 2017, the athlete surprised everyone with two acts of kindness. In the summer, his father's house was burglarized and the thief was caught red-handed, which led to a criminal case. However, Mohammed demanded that the lawsuit be withdrawn, gave the thief a "bribe" and helped him find a job. In December, he became a national hero by supporting the Egyptian currency, donating £210 to the government.
Mohamed Salah remains Liverpool's highest-paid player. The striker's contract with the English club expires in 2023, and in 2021, the "Transfermarkt" portal valued the athlete at 100 million euros. Salah was invited to participate in the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, but the management of the English club did not allow the Egyptian to participate in the Games. Clubs have the power to make such decisions, as football competitions at the Olympic Games are not recognized by FIFA. Liverpool have planned full pre-season preparations for the summer of 2021.
Despite ongoing negotiations between Liverpool and the Egyptian striker for a contract extension, tensions were brewing within the team. While fans had previously only speculated about a conflict between star strikers Mohammed Salah and Sadio Mane, it surfaced during a match against Chelsea in the 2020/2021 season. Mané did not pass the ball to Salah when there was an opportunity to win a penalty. According to one commentator's interpretation, he did so out of fear of giving a goal to Salah, who is the team's designated penalty taker.
