Mohamed Salah’s biography began on 15 June 1992 in Nagrig, Egypt, where he was born, grew up, and developed an interest in football by watching legends like Ronaldo and Zidane. When he was only 14 years old, his talent caught the eye of Al Mokawloon, and he was accepted into the youth academy in their far-away city of Cairo. The young teenager was forced to take several buses a day to get to training, which took about 4 or 5 hours. Played mainly in the defensive wing-back position, but his coaches recognised him as an incredible speedster and scoring machine and pushed him up the field, a change that led to his debut in the Egyptian Premier League in 2010.
Salah has grown, showing interest in football, and began his career at Ittihad Basyoun. Later, he joined the Egyptian Premier League, where he played for Al-Mokawloon before moving to Switzerland to play for a Swiss Super League club, FC Basel. The all-time goal scorer has also played for senior clubs in the Premier League like Chelsea FC, Fiorentina, AS Roma, and Liverpool FC before moving to Turkish Super Lig club Trabzonspor.
