Few players worldwide can rival the skill of Mohamed Salah. The Liverpool striker has been in scintillating form this season, netting goals aplenty and almost single-handedly propelling the Reds towards what could be their second Premier League title.
On Friday, months of uncertainty and concern were finally put to rest when the Egyptian king inked a new two-year contract at Anfield. His current deal was due to run out in the summer, and with negotiations having hit a standstill for some time, an exit seemed probable.
But now, Liverpool supporters can breathe a sigh of relief, as can Arne Slot, who’s seen Salah contribute to nearly half of his team’s goals this season.
After months of conjecture, Salah has at last put pen to paper to prolong his tenure on Merseyside for another two years. The contract is reportedly valued at $460,000 per week, ensuring he remains one of the top earners in the league.
The Reds bent their own rules to seal the deal, with Fenway Sports Group typically hesitant to offer multi-year contracts to players over 30. The agreement means Salah’s eight-year stint will likely stretch to a decade.
“Of course, I’m very excited,” Salah expressed in an interview with Liverpool’s official website. “We have a great team now. Before also we had a great team. But I signed because I think we have a chance to win other trophies and enjoy my football.
“It’s great, I had my best years here. I played eight years, hopefully it’s going to be 10. Enjoying my life here, enjoying my football. I had the best years in my career.

“I would like to say to [the fans], I am very, very happy to be here. I signed here because I believe we can win a lot of big trophies together. Keep supporting us and we’ll give it our best, and hopefully in the future we’re going to win more trophies.”
When it comes to his finances, Salah’s prowess on the pitch is matched by his earnings off it. Celebrity Net Worth estimates that the Egyptian king’s net worth stands at $89 million. The hefty sum is bolstered by his lucrative contract with Liverpool, under which he’s been raking in at least $24 million annually since 2022 and around $13 million per year since 2018.
His portfolio extends to multiple endorsement deals that contribute sizably to his wealth, including partnerships with global giants like Adidas, Pepsi, Vodafone, and Audi. When factoring in image rights and commercial ventures, it’s reported that Salah could pocket upwards of $1.3 million a week.

On the home front, Salah’s heart belongs to his wife, Magi Salah, whom he married back in 2013. The couple, who share their roots in the town of Nagrig, Egypt, are closely knit, their relationship founded on mutual experiences and a shared childhood.
Magi maintains a discreet presence, seldom stepping into the public eye. “Magi tends to keep herself to herself and away from social media, but has been spotted at Anfield supporting her husband,” have remarked those who’ve seen her.
The couple is blessed with two daughters, Makka, who arrived in 2014, and Kayan, who joined the family in 2020. Salah’s commitment to his loved ones is palpable, as he often shares tender snapshots of life with his daughters on his social platforms.
