Mohamed Salah has fired Egypt into the World Cup round of 16, where they will face Argentina in Atlanta. The 34-year-old former Liverpool star guided the Pharaohs to second place in Group G after draws with Belgium and Iran and a 3-1 win over New Zealand. Egypt then claimed their first-ever World Cup knockout victory by defeating Australia on penalties in the round of 32.
Salah's Net Worth
Salah's breakthrough came in 2017 when Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool signed him from Roma for £34.3 million. His initial contract paid an estimated £90,000 per week. After scoring 44 goals in his first season, he signed a new five-year deal doubling his wages. In 2022, he agreed to a three-year extension reportedly worth over £350,000 per week. His final contract, signed in 2025, was terminated early this summer to facilitate his departure. Sponsorships with Adidas, Pepsi, and Vodafone Egypt have further boosted his fortune. According to Celebrity Net Worth, Salah's net worth currently stands at £105 million.
'Hospital-Like' Home in Cheshire
During his time at Liverpool, Salah lived in Cheshire's 'golden triangle,' an area popular with athletes and celebrities. His home features two gym rooms—one for bodybuilding and one for strength training—along with hyperbaric chambers and cryotherapy facilities. Speaking to L'Equipe in 2022, Salah said: "I am constantly looking to improve my physical condition. It's true that I like to say that my house looks like a hospital, [but] my wife doesn't like that! [She] says that I spend more time with my machines than with her!"
Why Salah Left Liverpool
Salah's Liverpool tenure officially ended on July 1. He scored 257 goals for the club, becoming their record scorer in both the Premier League and European competitions. He won two league titles, the Champions League, and several domestic cups. His departure was influenced by mounting friction with former boss Arne Slot, a tactical shift towards younger attackers, and his age. In his farewell message, Salah said: "I never imagined how deeply this club, this city, these people would become part of my life. Liverpool is not just a football club, it's a passion, it's a history, it's a spirit. This club will always be my home to me and to my family. Thank you for everything."
Where Salah will play next remains uncertain as he focuses on Egypt's World Cup campaign.
