Mo Salah finally reveals the meaning behind brand new goal celebration after fans left confused

Mohamed Salah has finally revealed the meaning behind his new goal celebration after fans were left confused.

Mo Salah's Liverpool future is far from certain, with the Egyptian attacker not into the final year of his contract.

There has been little movement on a new deal, so as things stand the 32-year-old will leave Anfield on a free transfer next summer.

Salah was the subject of a huge £150 million offer from Saudi Pro League side Al Ittihad last summer, but Liverpool immediately rejected it.

When asked about his future this week, Salah told Sky Sports News: "Before the season, I was just like, ‘I’ve got one year left so let’s just enjoy it and don’t think about the contract now'.

"I don’t think about anything and I really just enjoy it. I don’t want to think about next year. I don’t want to think about the future, just ‘OK, let’s enjoy the last year [of my contract] and we’ll see’.

"The most important thing is to take one day at a time and just be grateful to be here.”

Unwilling to let speculation distract him from matters on the pitch, Salah has made a strong start to the 2024-25 Premier League campaign.

The attacker scored in both of Liverpool's games this season, 2-0 wins against Ipswich Town and Brentford.

After scoring both goals, Salah performed a new archery celebration. Fans were left wondering what the celebration means, and now Salah has explained all.

"I think I was watching the UFC, Pereira against Israel Adesanya. And when he won the second fight against Pereira he celebrated like that," Salah told Men in Blazers.

"I like the celebration, that's why I did it. I am a UFC fan, but people also take it as our Egyptian pharaohs used to do it when they draw something in a temple or just in the pyramids or somewhere."

Adesanya performed the archery celebration after he knocked out Pereira in their second fight on April 8th, 2023.
