‎Mohamed Salah signs new Liverpool deal wearing $950,000 Richard Mille watch‎

‎The Premier League headlines this week are dominated by Mohamed Salah, as the Liverpool icon officially signed a contract extension with the club—dashing rumors of a summer departure. But while fans rejoiced over the Egyptian king’s decision to remain at Anfield, it was his wristwear, not just his pen, that made waves across social media.

‎The 32-year-old forward, who has been a cornerstone of Liverpool since his arrival in 2017, has amassed an extraordinary 243 goals and 109 assists in 393 appearances. Despite persistent rumors linking him with a move away and the looming departure of Trent Alexander-Arnold to Real Madrid, Salah’s renewed commitment offers a glimmer of stability amid uncertainty—particularly as doubts linger over the futures of Virgil van Dijk and other senior players.

‎Contract Details: No Pay Cut, Massive Potential Earnings

‎

‎Sources close to SPORTING confirm that Salah’s new deal is as lucrative as his previous one, estimated at over £350,000 per week. Factoring in bonuses and performance-related incentives—such as hitting the 20-goal mark in a season—his potential annual income could still exceed £20 million.

‎Enter the Watch: A Richard Mille Worth Nearly $1 Million

‎

‎Matching the moment with his signature taste for luxury, Salah marked the occasion with an extravagant fashion statement—a blue ceramic Richard Mille RM 17-02 Tourbillon Titanium watch. As revealed by GQ and confirmed by The Daily Mail, the timepiece retails for an astonishing $949,999 (approx. £725,000).

‎

‎Founded in 2001, Richard Mille is renowned for its avant-garde horological engineering. Salah’s RM 17-02 exemplifies that tradition, boasting an openworked tourbillon designed to combat gravitational inaccuracies—essentially turning gravity itself into a stylistic opponent. The skeletonised face reveals its intricate mechanics, making the inner workings just as stunning as its striking blue and rose gold exterior.

‎

‎With a manual wind movement offering a 70-hour power reserve and a bold 48.2 x 40.1 mm presence, the RM 17-02 is unapologetically ostentatious—a description that, ironically, aligns with Salah’s clinical flair on the pitch.

‎

‎Fans React: Divided Over the Watch’s Style

‎

‎While Salah’s loyalty to Liverpool delighted supporters, his choice of watch drew mixed reactions online. One fan bluntly stated: “Looks like a kid's plastic watch but costs almost a million.” Another quipped, “Obviously, money doesn't buy taste.” A third added, “Not a hater but it looks hideous.”

‎

‎This isn’t Salah’s first foray into eye-catching timepieces either. He was recently spotted wearing the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar Openworked—further showcasing his love for bold, skeletonised luxury watches.

‎

‎A Symbolic Statement

‎

‎Whether fans admire or question the aesthetics, Salah’s watch isn’t just an accessory—it’s a symbol. It marks a moment of continuity for Liverpool at a time when the club's identity faces significant shifts. And just like the RM 17-02, Salah continues to be both a marvel of precision and a spectacle of style.
