Mohamed Salah granted the wish of millions of Liverpool fans worldwide on Friday morning when the club revealed that he had signed a new agreement.
The Egyptian superstar has gone through the records since he joined the Reds for a record of 39 million pounds sterling from the Roma Italian club in 2017.
His first contract in Anfield saw him banish £ 90,000 per week. It should now earn around £ 375,000 every seven days, or nearly 20 million pounds sterling per year.
Almost eight years after joining, Liverpool became a second house in Salah, which was baptized the “Egyptian king” by worshiper fans on the Merseyside.
At his side is his wife Magi, whom he has known since childhood and married in 2013, and their two daughters: Makka, 10, and Kayan, five.
And it is their complete contentment in Liverpool which is one of the main reasons why Salah extends his historic stay.

While money, employment security and ambition have all taken into account its decision to stay, Salah clearly indicated that the contentment of his family in Liverpool was an important factor.
“They feel at home,” said. “They were very happy, Magi and the children, they were very happy to stay two more years. It’s at home so everyone is happy.
“I think Makka was the happiest of the family, she wanted us to stay. Of course, we all wanted to stay, but Makka because his friends are here and school. It was a very good atmosphere after the moment I signed.
“I appreciate my life here. I appreciate my football. My family also feels at home. We appreciate every moment of the city and at every moment of the club.
He added: “Of course, I am very excited. We have a large team now. Before, we had an excellent team. But I signed because I think we have a chance to win other trophies and enjoy my football.
Salah, 32, met Magi when the pair was schoolchildren in the Egyptian village of the Gharbia base. It comes from a humble environment. As a child, he would make four -hour bus trips in each direction five days a week to train with Al Mokawloon, frequently disappeared. This determination never left him.
His family life aims to stand in the best possible form. His house, which is in the same district as the Erling Haaland of Manchester City, is equipped with two gym rooms and also has cryotherapy facilities and a hyperbaric room.
In secular terms, cryotherapy is the use of ice machines to reduce swelling by forcing blood vessels, while a hyperbaric chamber has air pressure levels three times higher than normal conditions to help the lungs to spread more oxygen around the body.
He knows his wife, Magi, since their school days in Egypt, and they got married in 2013

“I am constantly trying to improve my physical condition,” he told France Football once.
“It is 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!
Earlier this year, he shared a video from his daughter Kayan working with him, before planting a kiss on his cheek.
It may not be surprising, then, that Salah seems to be physically improving. Liverpool owners, Fenway Sports Group, generally do not renew players over 30 years old because they may physically decrease. With Salah, this risk is still there, but it superbly attenuated it.
He is 32 years old, but in pre-season, he beat his co-stars of Liverpool in the fitness test of the Manager Arne Slot. Gary Neville described it in February as a “brick wall”.
Salah eats broccoli with almost all meals and other “supermarkets” are often on the menu. He particularly likes the Egyptian national dish Koshary, a mixture of fried rice, pasta, lesions, onions and a tomato sauce.
As a Muslim, Salah has never touched alcohol. During Ramadan, we think he changes his routine to make a gymnasium session at 2 am. Fat food is rare but it allows a pizza “cheating day”.
In 2020, he allowed people to take a look in his house in an ad with Vodafone, where he wasted in his spacious garden with the first girl Makka.

In the video, Salah continued Makka around the garden before catching up and lifting it in the air.
Another scene shows the Egyptian lounge in a luxurious living room with an elegant and modern style … and a large cat statue in front of the fireplace. An image of Makka in his school uniform is a place of choice on a table.
Each year, Salah and his family take precedence over a photo of them around the Christmas tree, which brings an inevitable reaction, given his Muslim faith.
Last December, they laid in matching pajamas for his Christmas article, smiling in front of their tree and a gingerbread for Instagram follow -up that swelled at 64.6 million users.
His faith is clear in the way he plays his football, however. One of his most common celebrations is the “sujud”, where he bowed on his knees, places his forehead on the lawn and prays.
“It’s not to kiss the ground,” said Salah to CNN in 2018. “It is something like praying or, like, thanking God for what I received. But, yes, it’s just praying and praying for a victory. I have always done that since I was young, everywhere.
Playing for a high -level club in European competition each season, the Salah calendar is demanding.
However, he still finds time for two of his beloved hobbies: failures and yoga.
The Liverpool star has already said that he was `addic ” to chess and that he plays every day
He publishes a Christmas tree photo each year, something that brings a lot of upheavals
He once said to Sky Sports how he was “addicted” to failures and played him “every day”.
Salah plays regularly on Chess.com – A website that allows users to play against others in the world – and said it had obtained a note of 1,400, which is quite strong since many do not exceed 1,000. One day, he would like to play the legendary Magnus Carlsen.
A longtime American supporter said last year that he had ended up playing against Salah on the chess website after having come up against him during the Liverpool pre-season tour.
Knowing that Salah is a fan of passionate chess, he invited him to play after having hit him in a Starbucks in Pittsburgh.
Salah won, but he remembered the fan and later invited him to play online again, the supporter takes revenge, as he said to the Podcast Men in Blazers.
His humility and natural talent have always attracted him fans of Liverpool. For a man who won the Premier League, the Champions League, the FA Cup, the Carabao Cup (twice), the UEFA Super Cup, the World Cup of the Fifa Club and the Community Shield, Salah never presented itself as a boastful. He is also the third top scorer in the club.
Armed by two years on his contract, you would be a fool of not supporting him to overthrow more records.
