Mohamed Salah has revealed that his eldest daughter, Makka, was overjoyed by his decision to extend his stay at Liverpool, highlighting the emotional connection his family has built in the city.
The Egyptian forward signed a new two-year contract last Friday, committing his future to the Anfield club until 2027.
The announcement was met with widespread celebration among Liverpool supporters—and, as Salah shared in a recent interview, within his own household as well.
Speaking to Liverpool’s official website, the 31-year-old said his family reacted enthusiastically to the news, with his daughter Makka particularly thrilled.
Her happiness, Salah explained, stems from the life she has built in Liverpool, surrounded by school friends and familiar surroundings.
“Magi and the children were delighted with the news. Our eldest daughter, Makka, was especially happy: she has friends here, school, everything,” Salah said.
“The atmosphere at home was really positive after the signing.”
Salah’s contract renewal comes as Liverpool continue to challenge strongly in the Premier League. The Egyptian has been instrumental this season, scoring 27 goals in all competitions.
His form has helped the club establish an 11-point cushion at the top of the table, as they aim to draw level with Manchester United’s record of 20 English top-flight titles.
The forward’s continued presence offers stability and firepower for Liverpool as they navigate the final stages of the campaign.
His goal-scoring exploits, combined with his leadership on and off the pitch, have made him a cornerstone of the club’s recent success.
Beyond the numbers, Salah’s influence extends into the hearts of supporters and his own family alike. For Makka, who has spent much of her childhood in Liverpool, the city has become a second home.
Her joy reflects not only her father’s footballing legacy but also the roots the family has laid down during his time at the club.
Salah’s decision to remain at Anfield is viewed as a significant coup for Liverpool, especially amid speculation surrounding his future in recent months.
By securing the services of their all-time leading Premier League goalscorer—currently sitting on 182 league goals for the club—the Reds have underlined their commitment to competing at the highest level.
In Liverpool’s all-time scoring charts, Salah continues to climb, trailing only club legends Ian Rush and Roger Hunt. With his new contract, he has ample opportunity to close that gap further.
The extension also sends a message of continuity to Liverpool’s fan base, as well as to the dressing room, where Salah’s work ethic and consistency set the standard.
At 31, he remains at the peak of his powers, blending experience with a relentless drive that has defined his tenure in England.
As Liverpool push toward potential glory this season, Salah’s presence—on the pitch and at home—appears to be exactly where he and his loved ones want to be.
For Makka, the joy of her father’s contract renewal is more than a football story—it’s the assurance that her life, her friends, and her daily joys remain unchanged.
