How Mohamed Salah's family's stunning Merseyside home - and a £50m contract - helped keep Liverpool's star out of Saudi's grasp

Mohamed Salah granted the wish of millions of Liverpool fans worldwide on Friday morning when the club revealed he had signed a new deal.

The Egyptian superstar has been tearing up the record books ever since joining the Reds for a then-record £39million from Italian club Roma in 2017.

His first contract at Anfield saw him bank £90,000 per week. He's now set to earn around £380,000 every seven days, or nearly £25million per year.

Almost eight years on from joining, Liverpool has become a second home to Salah, who has been christened the 'Egyptian King' by doting fans on Merseyside.

By his side is wife Magi, who he has known since childhood and married in 2013, and their two daughters: Makka, 10, and Kayan, five.

And it's their complete contentment in Liverpool which is one of the main reasons Salah is extending his historic stay.

While money, job security, and ambition will all have factored in his decision to stay, salah made clear that his family's contentment in Liverpool was a big factor.

Salah, 32, met Magi when the pair were schoolkids in the Egyptian village of Basion Gharbia. He comes from a humble background. As a child, he would make four-hour bus journeys each way five days per week to train with Al Mokawloon, frequently missing school. That determination has never left him.
