Mohamed Salah surprised fans recently by revealing a striking new hairstyle and a toned physique on social media. He decided to ditch his trademark afro, showcasing his fresh look on Instagram and receiving enthusiastic feedback from supporters.

Speculation has swirled among fans that the Egyptian forward underwent a hair transplant this summer, adding to the intrigue surrounding his transformation.

Changes are also afoot on the professional front for Salah at Liverpool. With Jurgen Klopp’s departure after a successful nine-year tenure, new manager Arne Slot is set to lead the team into the upcoming Premier League season.

On Saturday, Salah took to X, a social media platform, to share photos of his revamped appearance, including a snapshot by the pool displaying his newly defined abs.

Just hours after being posted the post had racked up more than 58,000 likes and four million total views.

One fan wrote: ‘Mo Salah is the 6288915th example of men getting better with age.’

Another agreed: ‘I’ve never seen a player increase his aura after a buzz cut.’

A further fan joked: ‘Three things and certain in life. Death, Taxes and Mo salah scoring 19 goals and 10 assists next season.’

A fourth fan wrote: ‘Since I was about 12 I’ve had a theory that footballers play infinitely better when they’ve had a fresh trim. Congratulations on your 40 G/A next season Mo’

Meanwhile a fifth added: ‘Our leading man just out there having a proper holiday while everyone else is stressing. Love that for him.’

In his seventh season at Anfield the Egyptian was as pivotal as ever for the Reds despite a hamstring issue in the new year.

18 Premier League goals in 32 games marked his lowest league return since joining the club in 2017, a statistic that only underscores his incredible achievements at Anfield.
