On this day eight years ago, Liverpool completed the signing of Mohamed Salah from AS Roma for a fee just shy of £37 million.

At the time, the move raised eyebrows among fans and pundits alike. Skeptics dismissed the transfer as a gamble, labeling Salah “a waste of money” and suggesting he would be nothing more than a “one-season wonder.” Many doubted whether the Egyptian winger, who had previously experienced an underwhelming stint at Chelsea, could truly adapt to the demands of the Premier League.

Fast forward to the present, and those doubts have been emphatically silenced.

Salah has not only exceeded expectations — he has shattered them. With an extraordinary tally of 245 goals in all competitions, he has etched his name into Liverpool’s rich footballing history. His relentless consistency, blistering pace, clinical finishing, and creative brilliance have made him a nightmare for defenders and a joy to watch for supporters.

More importantly, his contributions have directly powered Liverpool to major trophies, including two Premier League titles and a UEFA Champions League crown — achievements that had long eluded the club in the modern era.

Over the past decade, Mohamed Salah has firmly established himself as one of the elite footballers on the planet. His legacy extends beyond the numbers: he has become a global icon, a symbol of excellence, humility, and perseverance. For Liverpool fans, he is not just a player — he is a legend, affectionately known as The Egyptian King.
