Salah Leads Egypt to World Cup Knockout History
Mohamed Salah has guided Egypt to the round of 16 at World Cup 2026, where they face Argentina and Lionel Messi in Atlanta. The Pharaohs finished second in Group G after drawing with Belgium and Iran and beating New Zealand 3-1. They then won their first-ever World Cup knockout match via a penalty shootout against Australia in the round of 32.
Mohamed Salah's Net Worth
Salah's net worth is estimated at £105 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. His wealth stems from lucrative Liverpool contracts and endorsement deals with Adidas, Pepsi, and Vodafone Egypt. His first Anfield deal in 2017 paid £90,000 per week. After 44 goals in his debut season, he signed a five-year contract doubling his salary. In 2022, he agreed a record-breaking three-year extension worth over £350,000 per week. His final contract, signed in 2025, was cut short to allow his departure this summer.
Salah's 'Hospital-Like' Home in Cheshire
During his Liverpool tenure, Salah lived in Cheshire's 'golden triangle,' an area popular with sports stars. His mansion is filled with extreme recovery and training equipment, which he likened to a hospital. The property includes two gym rooms—one for bodybuilding and one for strength training—plus 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 career ended on July 1, 2026, after he scored 257 goals, becoming the club's all-time leading scorer in the Premier League and European competitions. He won two league titles, the Champions League, and several domestic cups. The decision to leave was influenced by simmering tensions with former manager Arne Slot, a tactical shift toward younger forwards, and his age of 34. 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."
