Mo Salah’s Daughter Played Key Role in Liverpool Contract Extension Decision

 Mohamed Salah revealed on April 11, 2025, that his daughter Makka was a major influence in his decision to sign a new two-year contract with Liverpool, tying him to Anfield until 2027.

The Egyptian star, 32, announced the extension, worth a reported £350,000 weekly, ending months of speculation amid interest from PSG and Saudi clubs. Speaking to Sky Sports, Salah said, “Makka loves Liverpool—she wanted us to stay. Her happiness means everything.” The deal cements Salah’s legacy, with 250 goals in 400 games, including 12 this season, fueling Liverpool’s Premier League lead.

Negotiations, led by sporting director Richard Hughes, hit snags over wages, but Salah’s bond with fans, evident in 50,000 chanting his name at Anfield, tipped the scales. Makka, 10, often seen at matches, has become a Kop favourite, her “Mo Salah” chants viral on TikTok with 2 million views.

Manager Arne Slot hailed Salah’s “world-class hunger,” while X posts under #SalahStays hit 60,000, with fans joking Makka deserves a signing bonus. The extension, alongside talks for Virgil van Dijk, boosts Liverpool’s title bid, but Trent Alexander-Arnold’s uncertain future clouds the horizon. Salah’s family-first choice resonates, blending football with heart.
