Meet the beautiful family of Liverpool player Mohamed Salah
Mohamed Salah has become one of the most sought after players in world football. Thanks to a goalscoring record at Liverpool that drew admiring glances from every major club in the world, the Egyptian international is now one of the Premier League’s most important players.
But not everything was easy; After joining Basel from Egyptian side Al Mokawloon in 2012, Salah spent two seasons at Chelsea, playing just 13 games in two years. It looked like the striker’s Premier League story was over,’
After being sold to Roma in 2016 following a successful season-long loan, it seemed Salah would be better suited to the pace of the Italian league. Even so, after another great year, where he scored another 15 goals in the league and provided multiple assists, Liverpool took a chance on the Egyptian.
Six years and over 125 goals later, Mohamed Salah is one of the best-known and most respected strikers the Premier League has ever seen and, after securing a new contract, the player looks set to enjoy further success at Anfield.
Mohamed Salah parents
Very little information is known about Mohamed Salah’s parents, both of whom are alive and well and big supporters of their famous son. Salah’s father, Salah Ghaly, and his mother, whose name is still a mystery, certainly contributed to Mo Salah becoming a professional footballer.
Both parents came from the Egyptian middle class and as such expected their son to choose an academic career rather than a sporting career. Unfortunately for Salah Ghaly and his wife, Mohamed showed a natural aptitude for football from an early age, and the young Egyptian soon began playing for El Mokawloon’s youth team.
It quickly became clear to Salah’s coaches that the player had real talent and, after just two years, he was moved into the first team at the tender age of 15.
Despite his parents’ misgivings, Salah continued to progress, often having to miss school to make the long journey to the club’s training ground, a round trip of more than three hours.
In 2012, Salah moved to Switzerland to play for Basel, and his steady rise to the top of European football would begin. It would be five years and several clubs before the Egyptian star found a home at Liverpool, but by then his parents had become his biggest fans.
Although very little is known about Mohamed Salah’s mother, she occasionally comments on her son’s life and career. In a recent photograph of Mohamed Salah being hugged by an attractive fan, his mother was quick to scold her eldest son.
After seeing the photo on Twitter, Ms. Ghaly declared that if she had seen Mohamed’s father in a similar pose, she would have divorced him!
Mohamed Salah Brothers
Mohamed Salah has a brother, a younger brother called Nasr, and it’s strange how similar the two brothers are. Despite just a year separating the two brothers, their lives took very different paths.
Nasr Salah still lives in Egypt and is one of the country’s best-known public figures. A fervent supporter of his older brother, the two spend a lot of time together, with Mohamed playing a key role in his younger brother’s wedding ceremony.
Mohamed Salah wife
A devout Muslim, Mohamed Salah has always avoided controversy whenever possible. With many footballers being tempted by the nightlife and notoriety that their profession often brings, Salah chose a more traditional path. Whether due to his upbringing or his religious beliefs, Mohamed Salah has stayed away from
Mohamed Salah met his future wife while they both attended the same school as children. Magi Salah is also from Basion Gharbia, the Egyptian village where Salah grew up, and the two grew up side by side during elementary and middle school.
The two remained close friends throughout Salah’s early career, and the couple eventually married in 2013.
Magi Sadeq graduated from Alexandria University with a Bachelor’s degree in Biotechnology.
The Salahs were married in their village of Basion Gharbia, with the Magi wearing traditional Muslim clothing and Mohamed wearing a fashionable tuxedo. Magi has accompanied Salah on his travels around Europe and can often be seen supporting her husband at Anfield during games.
Mr. and Mrs. Salah often travel back to Egypt to their hometown, especially during Ramadan, the religious festival, to share their wealth with local residents. Mohamed Salah, as a devout Muslim, appreciates his good fortune and tries to ensure that he never underestimates his wealth.
Mohamed Salah Children
Mohamed Salah has two children with his wife, Magi, both daughters. The couple’s eldest daughter, Makka, was born in 2014, almost a year after the Salahs got married.
Makka Salah was named after the Muslim holy city of Mecca. Makka was photographed many times on the football pitch with her father, often accompanied by her mother as they celebrated alongside Salah as they won another trophy for Liverpool.
The family was further strengthened in 2020 with the birth of Salah’s second daughter, Kayan. While we’re not in the business of speculation, it’s worth mentioning that Kayen was born around nine months after Liverpool’s incredible Champions League victory in 2019.
As is often the case, whenever a nation or club has a notable season or wins an unexpected trophy, a baby boom often occurs. Every time Italy wins a championship, the population increases the following year. It also appears to be true in Liverpool’s case; Every time the Anfield faithful (or players) win a trophy, the number of births in the city increases.
The Salah family may well be complete, but with Mohamed and his wife Magi still young, there is every chance there will be even more baby steps in the future.
Without a doubt, all of Egypt would like to see a son born; the prospect of another Salah leading the line for Egypt in the future is certainly appealing.
