Mohamed Salah - Extend with Liverpool?
The future is uncertain for Egypt's best football player
Mohamed Salah, born on June 15, 1992, in Nagrig, a small village in Egypt, is one of the most prominent football players in the world today. With his incredible speed, technical skill, and ability to score goals, he has become one of the Premier League's biggest stars and a national symbol in Egypt.
Salah's football career began in Egypt where he played for the local club El Mokawloon. His talent was evident early on, and he made his debut in the Egyptian Premier League as a 17-year-old. Salah's impressive performances for El Mokawloon soon attracted attention from European clubs. In 2012, he took his first major step outside Egypt when he signed for Swiss FC Basel.
In Basel, Salah continued to develop as a player and quickly established himself as one of the most promising young talents in Europe. He helped Basel win the Swiss league and made impressive appearances in the UEFA Champions League, where he scored against Chelsea – a performance that would lead him to the next chapter in his career.
After impressing Chelsea during his time in Basel, Salah signed for the English big club in January 2014. Despite a promising start, he struggled to get regular playing time under José Mourinho's management and was later loaned out to Italian Fiorentina in 2015, where he began to find his form again. However, it was during his loan to AS Roma that Salah truly began to flourish, which led to a permanent move to the club in 2016.
During his time in Roma, Salah established himself as one of Serie A's best players, combining his speed, dribbling ability, and scoring prowess to become a key player for the team. He scored 29 goals in 65 matches for Roma and helped the club qualify for the Champions League.
In 2017, Salah made a move to Liverpool FC in the Premier League, a move that would prove decisive for his career. Under the leadership of Jürgen Klopp, Salah blossomed into one of the world's top football players. He broke records during his first season with the club, including scoring 32 goals in the Premier League – the most goals by any player in a 38-game season.
With Salah as a star, Liverpool won the Champions League in 2019 after an impressive campaign and the Premier League title in 2020 – Liverpool's first league title in 30 years. His performances made him an icon in Liverpool and an international football star.
In addition to his achievements at the club level, Salah has been a pivotal player for Egypt's national team. He helped Egypt qualify for their first World Cup in 28 years, the 2018 World Cup in Russia, where he scored two goals despite playing with a shoulder injury.
At 32 years old, Salah shows no signs of slowing down. He continues to be a key figure in Liverpool and one of the most productive forwards in the world. With several years left at the top level, the future looks bright for "The Egyptian King," and he continues to write his name in the history books as one of the greatest football players ever.
Salah's contract for Liverpool expires next summer, but the future remains uncertain. He has played 351 matches for Liverpool.
