A lush hairstyle on his head used to be Mohamed Salah's trademark. However, the Egyptian has decided to change his image. Even the most die-hard fans might have trouble recognizing the Premier League star on the street.

The early days of Mohamed Salah's career on European pitches were tough, but he grew into a leading player over time. He developed significantly during his loan from Chelsea FC to AS Roma, and since 2017, he has been playing for Liverpool FC.

In the colours of The Reds, the Egyptian representative had such good seasons that he was a candidate for the Ballon d'Or. Ultimately, such a significant honour did not go to Mohamed Salah, but he can boast of winning FIFA and UEFA Player of the Year awards.

Mohamed Salah's trademark was a lush hairstyle. Looking at pictures of the Egyptian, it's clear that the last time he was seen with short-trimmed hair was at Chelsea FC nearly a decade ago.

Therefore, shaving his hair almost to zero is a revolution in Mohamed Salah's image. The player shared a picture of his new short haircut on the social media platform Instagram. He garnered nearly one and a half million likes, a record for him in recent months. Fans rubbed their eyes in astonishment.

Spring 2024 is a time of change in Mohamed Salah's life. After seven years, he is parting ways with coach Juergen Klopp, who was behind his greatest successes in club football. The player has also decided on an image change.

British media have also speculated about Mohamed Salah's departure from Liverpool FC for several years. In the past, the 31-year-old formed a formidable trio at The Reds with Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino. The Senegalese and the Brazilian are already playing in the Persian Gulf, but Mohamed Salah remains in top-flight football.
