Revealed: The secrets behind Mo Salah's Liverpool success including 2am GYM sessions | OneFootball

Liverpool’s main man, Mohamed Salah, has been able to stay at his peak for longer than most expected, and his secret has finally been revealed.

A recent report by Lewis Steele of the Daily Mail has revealed some of the reasons behind The Egyptian King’s ability to stay at the very top level of world football.

Salah has been a fan favourite since his arrival in 2017 and he has managed to climb to fifth in Liverpool’s all-time top goal scorers list. This season the 32-year-old will be looking to add to his tally and is already off the mark, scoring in Liverpool’s 2-0 win over Ipswich Town last weekend.

Salah’s secret

Mo Salah is a man who takes his fitness very seriously and the Daily Mail’s new report has revealed that his home is kitted out with two gym rooms, cryotherapy facilities and a hyperbaric chamber to aid with recovery.

Salah also boasts a superb diet, with a private chef and broccoli amongst other super foods constantly on the menu. Salah is a Muslim and therefore does not drink alcohol and during Ramadan the Egyptian stays devoted to his fitness regime, moving his gym sessions to 2am in order to maintain his athletic ability.

As well as physical fitness, Salah also likes to exercise his mind, often playing chess online and taking part in meditation and yoga daily.

Salah’s contract turmoil

Despite consistently being one of Liverpool's best player since he signed for the Reds, Salah is now in the final year of his contract and an extension is by no means certain.

Arne Slot has refused to publicly comment on the contract situation of any of the players currently at Liverpool and some fans are worried that Salah’s time in Merseyside could be coming to an end.

From January, Salah will be able to freely enter contract discussions with any foreign club and Liverpool could end up losing their talisman on a free transfer at the end of this season.

How important is Salah at Liverpool?

Despite his age, Salah is still one of Liverpool’s key players and is expected to play a huge part in Arne Slot’s first season as Liverpool boss.

Salah was Liverpool's highest scorer in the league last season, despite missing six Premier League games, and he is already off the mark this year.

Many people are still backing Salah to be one of the best players in the world this season and his incredible fitness routine, and dedication to remaining at his physical peak, will no doubt help him deliver.

If Salah can help Liverpool to another successful season then fans will be as eager as ever for him to sign a new contract but, despite recent positive signs, it is only really Mohamed Salah himself who knows whether he will remain at Anfield beyond this season.
